On 08 March, 1925 Melbourne Radio station 3UZ first went to air (now RSN).  100 years later at 3pm on 08 March, 2025 I saw this mentioned in a Sarah Patterson article on the Radio Today website.  I cleared out two hours of my program on 3AW to pay tribute to the Greater 3UZ.  Congratulations to all who have worked there then, and to those who work there now.    I hope you enjoy my potted history with grabs from Nicky and Graham, Don Lunn, Peter James and Ugly Dave Gray, Newsbeat, Stan Rolfe, Bert Newton, and of course, John Vertigan.   If only I had more time...  

Happy birthday 3UZ
