Rob Elliott
<p>In 1990 I discovered a style of radio that I hadn't been exposed to before. It had been done before, but I hadn't heard anything quite like it at my young age. <br>Rob Elliott hosted nights on Bay Fm Geelong, who were simulcasting through 3XY Melbourne. <br>Quite a different episode this one, because I wasn't really a 'prize pig', more of a 'contributor pig'.</p> <p>All will make sense when you hear it! </p> <p> </p> <p>This is an ACE Radio Podcast</p> <p>Hosted by Jon Vertigan</p> <p>Produced by Sophie Jackson</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

<p>In 1988, 3DB turned into 3TT. <br>It was Melbourne's 'Classic Hits' station. It was another target for my teenage prize piggery. <br>Gavin Wood and Geoff Cox on breakfast. Carl Magrin during the day, and my guest this week is drive host Nigel Ross. <br>I chat with Nigel about life at 3TT and TTFM, and his life after radio. <br>He may not be on the air as an announcer anymore, but his fingerprints are everywhere! </p> <p> </p> <p>This is an ACE Radio podcast</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
