AM radio
3AR (now incorporated into ABC Radio National) began Victoria's first AM radio station broadcast in Melbourne during January 1924.
Due to its susceptibility to interference, these days AM broadcasting is mainly used for talk, news and sports radio.
AM broadcasts can usually be picked up from a much greater distance from the transmitter at night due to atmospheric conditions.

FM radio
EON-FM (now known as Triple M) was Australia's first commercial FM radio station. It commenced broadcasting in Melbourne during July 1980.
Most radio broadcasting is now on the FM band due to its superior sound quality over AM broadcasts.
To find FM radio stations which can be listened to in a specific area of Victoria, locate a city or town and then view the "FM radio" section.
Digital radio
|
In May 2009, digital radio services began broadcasting in Melbourne, offering high quality sound and extra features using the DAB+ standard. At the moment, there is no digital radio coverage outside of Melbourne.
Many of Melbourne's AM and FM radio stations simulcast on the digital radio network. Additionally, there are several digital-only stations.
