Launching in January 1975, the ABC’s 2JJ (later triple j) was the first genuine rival to commercial AM radio’s music listening stranglehold.
Opening their debut broadcast with Skyhooks’ ‘You Just Like Me ‘Cos I’m Good in Bed’ – an album track banned on commercial radio – set the tone for the new public broadcaster as rebellious, youth-oriented and committed to homegrown music.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
