RPP FM

RPP FM is a community radio station in the Mornington Peninsula region of Victoria, Australia. The radio station was established in 1984 to provide a local community radio service to the region.

History

RPP FM (Formally 3RPP) was initially based at studios located in Octavia Street, Mornington. The building was a former Telecom Australia exchange building, and was located in the centre of a carpark adjoining the nearby Mornington Main Street Shopping Centre.

Initially, 3RPP was licensed to commence services on frequency 94.3 MHz. There were a wide range of programs on 3RPP including specialist music programs, and regular daily breakfast programs and other popular programming including broadcasts from the still operating 21st Century Dance Club in Frankston.

The LOGO has taken two forms since commencement of services, the first with "94.3 3RPP" in blue Greek-styled characters on a white background, with the second being adopted upon the station's relocation to 98.7 MHz. The logo is described as a yacht sailing in a bay or inlet with sea-gulls above. This logo has been in use for well over 15 years by the radio station.
