History

The first Triple M station was 2MMM Sydney which commenced broadcasting on 2 August 1980. Together with then rival station 2Day FM (now also owned by Austereo), it was the first commercial FM radio station in Sydney.

In 1988, Melbourne radio station 3EON FM 92.3 (Australia's first commercial FM radio station, which commenced broadcasting on 17 July 1980) was taken over by 2MMM and changed its callsign to 3MMM and moved to 105.1 MHz in November 1988.

Brisbane radio station FM104 was launched in 1981 and took on the Triple M identity in the late 1980s.

Adelaide radio station 5KA converted from 1197 kHz to 104.7 MHz on January 1, 1990. The station was taken over by Village Roadshow, when then owned Triple M, and they successfully negotiated the purchase of the 5MMM callsign from a community radio station in the early 1990s.

Perth radio station 96FM also carried the Triple M identity in the late 1990s but was then sold to Southern Cross Broadcasting who changed the station's identity back to its original name 96FM .
