Excellent reception. Many years ago, I caught this station via Es DX on one occasion here in Melbourne.

Loved to listen to Chris Brown

This is a great example of laid back but very professional presentation. I wish today's FM radio sounded like this. Unfortunately a loud, brash and crass style dominates the commercial airwaves these days.

@@dxnerd86 all the 80’s 96fm DJs were great, Ric Cairns, Steve Gordon, Bob Stuart, Bill Ali, Fred Botica, are just some of the names coming to my memory of great DJs. Thanks for this little bit of audio.

@@petercrisp2573 As you can possibly tell from my channel name I was born in 1986, so basically missed the halcyon days of FM radio in Australia. By the time I was listening in the early to mid 90s, it had already gone somewhat downhill. Community and online radio is where it's at nowadays. You might enjoy the current Radio Caroline which is the closest there is to the 96fm format these days I reckon; I listen quite often.
