Founded by Paul Barrett, ABC 94FM started broadcasting on the 25th September 1995. At this point they broadcasted automated output from the city centre on both 88FM and 94.2FM. Before long, 88FM was dropped and live programming was introduced. There was also a Sunday relay via the shortwave band.

The station ceased in December 1999, but returned a few months later with automated programming utilising voiced dj inserts replacing the live output. The playlist consisted of 60s - 90s music. They were now on 94.3MHz.

Despite major improvements to their broadcast equipment in their final couple of years, ABC were dogged by chronic luck and were off the air on their 94.3FM frequency more than they were on. They finished broadcasting in January 2001, with a relay of Premier FM (also on 92.6FM) going out on their transmitter.94.3 was switched off altogether in August 2001, with low-powered tests from ABC appearing on 87.6MHz.

They have now called it a day.

ABC 94FM sister stations included:
Kiss FM    GLR FM    Beat FM    Gold FM
