88.3 Southern FM
37°54′18″S 144°59′43″E / 37.905008°S 144.995280°E
88.3 Southern FM is a community radio station based in Bentleigh East, Victoria. It is licensed by the Australian Communications and Media Authority.
Southern FM is the local community radio station for the south, south-eastern and bayside suburbs of Melbourne with a population of over 470,000.
The radio station was established in 1981 by former Australian Broadcasting Control Board member Dom Iacono and then former ABC engineer Jack Burgesson, who with a dedicated band of volunteers, first broadcast for a two-day broadcast from the Caulfield Town Hall.
The first test broadcast was not spectacular or particularly notable apart from the fact that it was the first test broadcast by the new group, and attracted much interest in the local area which the radio station was to eventually service.
The second test broadcast was from the store room of the now demolished East Bentleigh Community Hall
The station was originally established to cover the then municipal areas of Chelsea, Mordialloc, Sandringham, Caulfield, and Brighton.
As part of a planning review prior to the formal invitations for licence applications, the Australian Broadcasting Tribunal (now ABA) had offered SCB an extension to its coverage area to include the areas bounded by the Cities of Prahran, St Kilda, and Waverley in addition to the inclusion of the Inner eastern areas (now covered by 3WBC)
