Double J was the original AM youth network broadcast in Sydney under the ABC banner which started in the 70’s. In the 80’s it started broadcasting national to select local frequencies when local programs had finished so the ABC could maximise broadcasting with no dead air. Can’t remember if it was late 80’s or early nineties they moved from AM to FM then in the early 90’s shortly before changing to Triple J they started broadcasting in all capital cities except Hobart. Once changing from Double J to Triple J, the National broadcast footprint started to expand significantly into regional & rural areas of Australia. So the Double J call sign was then dormant for 30 odd years when it was used for one of the digital ABC stations, that also broadcasts over the TV frequencies, so with a digital TV you can listen to Double J. Best station available in my view, loads of 90’s music.
