About 106.1 ABC Classic FM
ABC Classic FM launched its first show on 24th January 1976, with the call sign of ABC-FM. After some time, it changed this call sign to ABC (Fine Music). In 1994, the audiences began to recognize this station as ABC Classic FM. FM again changed this name to the current one in January 2019. The station became necessary from its launching because of the high demand for AM frequencies in the radio market. Hence, it is a successful experiment of broadcasting shows on FM.
