Station History
FOX was one of the original FM radio license holders in Melbourne. It aimed to be the first commercial FM station to commence broadcasting in Australia, although it was eventually beaten by EON FM (which is now FOX's sister station, Triple M). It began broadcasting on 1st August 1980 at 5pm. Triple M is a network of radio stations owned by the Austereo Radio Network. ...
FOX started life in direct competition with EON FM, playing popular rock and top 40 music. The original positioner for the station tried to take advantage of the novelty value of FM radio, using the play on words "FM is Fox Music!" Throughout the history of the station its logo and marketing have always included a picture of a fox, although this was discontinued in 2005 when the entire Today Network introduced new standardised logos. The word position can have one of several meanings. ...
