History

Dig Music (2002-2014)

"Dig Music" radio service that began in November 2002, operated by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.[1] It emerged from formats developed by Bill Gates and Phil Cullen at ABC Coast FM, which broadcast an Adult Alternative music format and was for many years ABC Radio's only continuous stream. As of 2009, ABC Radio had launched the three new music services on digital radio stations (Dig Jazz & Dig Country).[2]

Some ABC Local Radio, ABC Radio National and Triple J music programs, are also broadcast on ABC Dig Music.

On 24 October 2013, the station came under Triple J management. On 15 November 2013, ABC Dig Music launched their fan survey to help design the station for the future.[3]

Double J (2014 – present)

At 12:00pm on 30 April 2014,[4] Dig Music officially relaunched as Double J, with former Triple J announcer Myf Warhurst hosting "Lunch with Myf". The launch was also broadcast live on Triple J, replacing "Lunch with Lewi" for that day.[5]

Double J is aimed at over-30s, including an audience perhaps graduated from the ABC Youth & sister radio station, Triple J. It plays multiple genres of music, emphasizing on genres and artists that get little airtime on commercial radio in Australia, including pop, rock, blues, country, soul, jazz and world music. Currently it is mostly automated,[6] but has a few regular live programs.
