‘Livin’ In the 70s - 3XY Rocks Melbourne’ poster

‘Livin’ In the 70s - 3XY Rocks Melbourne’ poster

1979

  • FormPoster
  • Year1979

Once described by its number one personality Greg Evans as 'a leviathan of a station', 3XY dominated Melbourne airwaves for a decade, supplanting 3UZ as the top rock music radio station by 1974.

With commercial FM radio not due to launch until the following year, this 1979 poster captures a moment in time when AM radio remained the dominant force for music consumption.

Other significant 3XY broadcasting alumni during this time included Lee Simon, Barry Bissell, Jane Holmes, Peter Grace, Craig Huggins, Kevin Hillier and Richard Stubbs.
