C91.3 - History

History

Originally, when it started in 2001, the station played classic rock hits, with a little bit of current pop tracks, using the positioner "The Biggest Variety of Rock & Pop". In 2004, its music format shifted more towards CHR, and with it came a change of its positioner to "The Best Music in Macarthur". In early 2006, when Rob Doorey replaced Mal Lees (formerly of Triple M's Club Veg) & Mardi Cole, both now at other stations, for its breakfast slot, their positioner was changed to "Macarthur First".

The station features former Triple M jock, Stuart Cranney. From 2001 to 2005, he presented the "Classic 9 @ 9", in which he played 9 songs with a common theme. During 2006, the 9-10am slot was taken up by the final hour of Rob Doorey's "Macarthur Breakfast" program, in which it is the "At Work Network" and therefore, the "Classic 9 @ 9" was dropped from the station's schedule. Despite the dropping of his famous program, Stuart Cranney remained on the station, in the 10am-2pm slot, which was then moved back to 9am-12pm in 2007, as the finishing time for "Macarthur Breakfast" was brought back earlier to 9am. Stuart Cranney was made redundant by station management on the 11th of September 2008, but returned to the station in January 2011, presenting "Macarthur Breakfast". Since his breakfast program finishes at 10am, his popular 9am music feature has also returned, now renamed "Cranney's 9 @ 9", since the "Classic 9 @ 9" name has been taken up by Sydney's classic hits station, WSFM. Chantel Armstrong replaced Stuart Cranney for the 9am-12pm slot, before being replaced by Rob Doorey in 2010, who has moved from "Macarthur Breakfast".

During 2010, Jabba presented "Macarthur Breakfast" & Mike Goldman presented the local drive program. Both left the station by the end of the year, as they have refused to move to Campbelltown, as it was important for the station to be as local as possible.
