What a total shame as 3UZ truly ruled the airwaves with all of its golden disc jockeys and personalities like Stan The Man Rofe, Ken Sparkes, Don Lunn, Sam Anglesea, Johnny Chester, Bert Newton, Don Lane, Jimmy Hannan and Graham Kennedy! Sure miss those wonderful days of pure entertainment and fun!

John Deeks was originally a radio DJ on 3UZ and 3DB in the 1970s, then went on to the Channel 7 network (Australia) where he did voiceovers for many of their shows (such as the New Price Is Right and Wheel of Fortune) and commercials, and may have hosted a few shows which I don't recall any. He is still at Seven today, he was on the Royal Childrens Hospital Good Friday telethon last week.

I remember 3UZ from the seventies: Bert Newton, John Deeks, Don Lane, races, country music, "Radio Auditions" followed by "Newsbeat" on Sunday mornings, "3-way Turf Talk", and its memorable news theme. Deeksy was a great DJ in those days.

It was good to hear some of the material that was broadcast from this tower.

Sounds fantastic on digital and still great AM coverage too. Lots of tuned loops on hotels and TABs across region.

It's always a shame to see a good old AM station have to either go down the digital toilet or disappear altogether.

Great video Dave, I give it 5 stars. Bit sad to see an old tower turned into scrap in seconds, now we know how to take a station off air. Gee..I know where there's a really big mast near Sydneham.

Carpet City was in an old movie theater that was quite big and may have covered a few addresses along Nth Rd and also i think they may have had a few shop fronts as well

Does the phrase anti-climax mean anything to you? I was brought up in Viewbank very close to this location and there were several similar towers in the area. The saddest thing about it was that John Deeks was not sitting on top of it at the time of the demolition!!!!

hey how tall was this mast?

Read the description and you will find out.

Hi you from 2007

The voice you hear on this clip, card carrying pain in the arse. Just a voice over bloke but grates on me like you would not believe. About as sincere as Liz Taylor saying ouch on her wedding night!!!

Always upsetting to see a 'tenna taken down....

Don't know when it was knocked down but the mast was amongst all commercial AM masts around View bank and Lower Plenty,VIC. Peter Byrne claims he could bring "3uz 930" in as far as The Story Bridge in Birsbane eager to hear Don Lunn on the number 1 radio station in Aus in the days of great radio.The Dj's included Sam Anglsea, Allan Lappin,Jimmy Hannan,Bill Gates,Ken Sparkes,John Vertigan,Johnny Chester,Graeme Cherry,Stan Rofe,Rod Spargo,Peter Byrne,John Deeks

Oh no, no more radio they destroyed the radio tower now it's off the air for good.

Yep it fell down.

And it did not in Melbourne at the time either.

Fuck this video is funny. Thanks for the post you little legend. All they had to do was cut all but one cable and then pull it over with a tracter attached to the remained one - I can't see the Pythagoras theorem hitting him in the head there, maybe - would do that calculation first. Or, cut all the cables, wack one of those 9/11 WTC thermate cutter charge jobs on the base, then let it fall in what direction the wind blow.

i could of had them turn it over to me i could of made a good rock station

@ 0:26 "clamp down on marijuana" .hmmm ...when will that be kicking off..?

I see! I know of acouple people in the radio industry who get on my nerves just as much as this guy get on yours.

Bill Caralis owns it, if there was a dollar in moving it

Sorry i posted a video that made you waste valuable time watching it even though it annoyed you.

What a waste of a decent tower, would have been better to leave it and use it for mobile phone / internet no hassles getting permissions then to put up a mast. Once the suburb is full of people they all will complain of horribile mobile phone / internet and want it improved but they do not want the tower / antennas to make it happen, silly NIMBY people.

Sorry but it is just a boring bird. I had a look at the original HD footage and the shots from another cams on a wider angel and it is plainly a bird chasing an insect or something. Anyway i checked out what rods are and now i know. You lean a new thing every day. Will keep a lookout.

What a waste..wasting America one tower at a time.Distroy anything that's free so people will pay for it,,Didnt work.you ruined all the music ,now you got nothing..
