DMG Radio Australia today announced the launch of a new radio station in Sydney, Classic Rock 95.3FM.Formerly vega, Classic Rock 95.3FM will be Sydney’s only dedicated Classic Rock station, totally focused on this music 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
DMG Radio Australia Assistant Group Program Director Dan Bradley said, “The timeless quality, the energy, the raw passion for Classic Rock music warrants a radio station dedicated to it 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For those who grew up listening to AC/DC, INXS, Zeppelin and Chisel, Classic Rock 95.3FM is a station they’ll love.”
DMG Radio developed the new station after an extensive strategic review of the Sydney market in recent months.
DMG Radio Australia CEO Cathy O’Connor said, “In building this new station we knew we needed a simple, focused music concept that would appeal to the 35-54 audience. Classic Rock 95.3 FM provides exactly that and will be a celebration of an era of music which evokes enormous passion from adult listeners.”
Classic Rock 95.3FM’s clearly defined music position, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, will be a compelling new offering in the Sydney radio landscape.
Classic Rock 95.3FM switches on at 6am on Friday 12 March 2010.

Classic Rock 95.3 rocks...it's what a radio station should be!
We have it set up on the clock radio in the bedroom...when we get out of bed we put it on in our son's bedroom so we can listen while we're getting the family organised for the day...we listen to it in the cars...and my wife bought a little portable radio so that she can listen to it at work.
The Vega era ends and the even blander era of Classic Rock begins. Unless DMG can afford some announcers the station will remain a backwater for most listeners. I can remember the halycon days of both 2SM and Triple M and so far 95.3 is not driven by energy but by cost cutting.
Memo Dan Bradley: One word and that is Harro. Dan get hold of Harro for 91.5 and I will dance down Flinders Street with your station booming out all the great music that a rock station can muster. Long live Classic Rock
Same old songs recycled again, and again, and again, and again ad nauseum!
New name, same boring music.
Agreed Pamela. Same old rotation. Same old DJ's doing what they did 20 years ago on MMM etc. Just need Ron E Sparx from WSFM and complete the lineup of a boring, nothing new crew. If they could fix the mistakes made on air with the DJ's & the news presenters (Hello Monica Dews), would appreciate the name change & some REAL changes to a station that's only been rehashed at name level only! Come on DMG, if your're going to give us a new station, mean it & do something about the lineup and professionalism & most importantly, THE MUSIC. Give us CLASSIC rock with variety. not the same ol' same ol'. PLEASE!!!!
Concept is good but you need to expand the scope to include classic rock bands and artists, perhaps less know than the ones you are currently playing but equally high quality, which have emerged during the last 10 - 15 years. I never hear you play great bands like Wilco, The National, Hold Steady,Drive By Truckers, My Morning Jacket, Frames or artists like Jesse Malin, Ryan Adams, Rufus and Martha Wainwright. It's all fantastic classic rock, just a bit fresher and more interesting because you don't hear it day in day out.
Keep up the great work, music is sensatioal just rember many artist and groups have more than one or two great songs worthy of playing on the radio the key is variety. Please do not do what 2mmm have done over the years say they are changing back to good rock n roll only to stary away again and fall into the same old rut of playing the same song 3 or 4 times a day boring!!!
So far very impressed Keep up the good work.
king crimson's track shoould be played some times dude
I don't want 'morning crews' or ' breakfast teams' or any other fool prattling on with a half baked opinion that they got from reading the paper that morning. Nor do I want to listen to a pack of nobodies ringing in to share their life experiences on their first or last sexual encounter or tell me about their familial habits.
Traffic reports are always out off date and serve to create new bottle necks based on the information they are reporting. The weather guys can say anything they want and still get to keep their jobs.
As you can tell I have no faith in the morass that radio has become. All I want is music. Good muisc. Classic music. Not watered down to appeal to people with no music sense or taste.
So far I am really liking what I am hearing in 95.3. Bold move. Good work.
The movie industry is one of the most booming industries worldwide. This is because movies seem to be one of the most popular choices of people globally when it comes to entertainment. It is hard to find a person who does not like to watch movies. There are a number of genres available these days suiting viewers of different mentalities and ages. Movies can be watched at theatres and on television. One can also buy or rent movie disks to play them in players or computers. However websites that let you watch movies online are becoming increasingly popular. This is because you can get a lot of content out there in the World Wide Web and practically any movie that has ever been produced. You also have the option of watching them whenever you want. You cannot get so much content at an offline store of disks even though disks let you watch movies at the time of your preference and neither is it feasible to build such a huge personal collection.
