This Sunday October 13 marks 100 years since ABC Radio Melbourne began transmission. Starting its life as 3LO it was the city’s second licensed radio station after 3AR (now Radio National).

To celebrate the centenary the station is hosting a big birthday concert at the Athenaeum Theatre on Friday October 18.

Hosted by Jacinta Parsons and Brian Nankervis, the day time celebration will also include musical acts and some well known voices from the past.

There are just a couple of remaining $49 tickets which can be purchased here.

The event runs from 12.30-3.30pm at 188 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC 3000.
