great station they looked after the listeners with free concerts and the djs were as big as some of the bands I had a poster of greg evans next to my slade posters
I worked at BAY-FM which was in the studio literally next door (in the next room...you can see it behind Mal Walden's head) at the time when 3XY closed down. Our studios were located in the old Corio Whiskey distillery next to the Shell Oil Refinery. It was a very sad day... In a weird irony...I now work for ATV-10.
I Jocked at XY toward the end....what a great experience it was...that's me at 1:40 (without the mo)...it was such a sad day.....HOT HITSSSSS 3XXX YYYYYY...Damn I miss those jingles!!
I loved this station. Listened to it for years. I use to listen to it when I did my paper rounds. I remember the all the kids at school use to have 3XY stickers on their folders and bags. Does anyone remember the 3XY fireworks every Christmas Eve at the Children's hospital in Melbourne. Thanks for the memories 3XY Hot Hits.
I did plenty of medium wave DXing (listening to distant AM stations) during the early 80s when I was a teenager living on the NSW north coast and would write to stations all over the place. They would write back and send me stickers. 3XY was one of them and I still have the letters and stickers in an album I made at the time.
Sadly, with all the networked programming nowadays, this kind of a hobby would not work anymore, and I doubt you'd receive a reply.
My father has the former 3XY 10 kilowatt main transmitter, it's a great piece of history from a great station

What's Roxanne Bennett (3XY's DJ on its very last transmission day) doing these days?

does anybody know the 5x locations where 3xy was over the years?
I know it wound up out the back of 3BAYFM in Geelong, but what about before then? Anybody know??
Where's Laurie Atlas when you need him?
