Geelong: 3BAY

Geelong radio station Bay FM (call-sign 3BAY) was Victoria’s first regional commercial FM station when it began broadcasting in December 1989.

The station was initially partnered with Melbourne radio station 3XY and for a while the two stations simulcast a common program schedule from studios in Geelong.

(But, more on the late 3XY in a later post…)

This logo was what launched Bay FM in 1989 and, twenty years later, is still largely unchanged.

Bay FM is now partnered with K-Rock (call-sign 3CAT) and both are owned by Grant Broadcasters Pty Ltd.
