History

3GG first went to air in 1937 as 3UL, named after the town from which it then broadcast; Warragul.[1] 3UL's founder was Vic Dinenny.[2] Dinenny had earlier operated 3YB as a mobile station, broadcasting from various towns around Victoria. As more and more rural stations opened in Victoria, the concept of a mobile station became less practical. Therefore, Dinenny applied for and received licences for two non-mobile (or conventional) stations, one in Warrnambool, which kept the 3YB call sign, and the other being 3UL in Warragul, which used the last two letters of the town name as its call sign.

Within a few years of opening, 3UL became part of the Argus Broadcasting Services network, along with 3YB Warrnambool and 3SR Shepparton.[3] This Victorian rural radio network was operated by The Argus, then a daily newspaper. When The Argus closed in January 1957, their radio network evolved into the Associated Broadcasting Company which owned 3UL until it was sold to Regional Communications Pty Ltd in 1982.[4] In August 1988 it was purchased by Shepparton Broadcasting. Wesgo purchased a 60% shareholding in March 1990.[5] In 1990 the station was purchased by two private shareholders.[6] Ace Radio purchased 3UL in 1995. In November 1989, 3UL moved premises from Warragul to Traralgon, in the Latrobe Valley, and changed its callsign to 3GG. Under Program Director, Steve Woods, 3GG became the number one station in the listening area.

After ten years, 3GG returned to Warragul. In 2002, owners RG Capital launched sister station Sea FM. In 2004, both 3GG and Sea FM were purchased by Macquarie Regional RadioWorks – the only change being to Sea FM, which was rebranded as Star FM.

Because of changes in media law, and following the purchase of Southern Cross Ten by Macquarie Southern Cross Media, either Sea FM or 3GG would have to be sold - the latter was sold to Resonate Broadcasting, a new entity operated by Austereo executives Guy Dobson and Rex Morris. Due to Resonate's Austereo connections - and following the merger of Southern Cross Media Group and Austereo - the station was closely aligned to the Triple M network.

In February 2015, 3GG was acquired by the Capital Radio Network.[7][8] As a result, the station shifted music formats from adult contemporary to classic hits, in line with other network stations.

Transmitter and studios

While the transmitter location has always remained on Brandy Creek Road just north of Warragul, the studio location has over the years changed from Warragul to Traralgon and back to Warragul at its current location of 7/61 Smith Street, Warragul. Its reception can be heard in Melbourne and Geelong, plus King Island.
