Hitz FM is dead, long live Hitz FM

March 10th, 2008 · Comments

Wow, what a blast from the past. I used to read the news as a schoolkid on the wildly successful community radio station, 89.9 Hitz FM. I also did some graphic design (poster) work for them back then too. Them were the days! In hindsight, what those guys like Nick Karlas and Andrew Gyopar did was give a really great opportunity for Melbourne kids to get involved in the media. I loved doing radio!

    Hitz fm will never die ! The ABA made a bad decision.
  • M ....
    Anton Vanderlely was the only founder of Hitz FM.....not Nick Karlas .... as he has claimed. Anton worked mercilessly to survey the youth of Melbourne and give them what they wanted to hear.... certainly not the likes of nick and Andrew Gyopar.

    it wasnt nick carlas and andrew gyopar that were the brains behind hitz fm they were just riding on its coat tails...
    The true brains behind it was Anton Vanderlely he had the vision he got it to air he saw the audience and he made it happen
