Terrific montage of old 3UZ audio and the bilge that used to come out of that tower for 52 years.
I remember 3UZ from the seventies: Bert Newton, John Deeks, Don Lane, races, country music, "Radio Auditions" followed by "Newsbeat" on Sunday mornings, "3-way Turf Talk", and its memorable news theme.
The old 3UZ tower at Lower Plenty has been demolished to make way for a housing estate.
Up until 1983, coverage of horse racing was shared in Melbourne between 3DB and 3UZ.
In 1983, 3UZ revamped its program lineup and cancelled all horse racing coverage, leaving 3DB as the sole outlet for racing on Melbourne radio.
In 1987 the HWT sold 3DB to the Albert Family who changed the call letters to 3TT in April 1988 and the station ultimately converted to FM and became 101.1 TT-FM in 1990 - as of 2005 the station uses the moniker Mix 101.1.
