In 1988, 3DB turned into 3TT. 
It was Melbourne's 'Classic Hits' station. It was another target for my teenage prize piggery.  
Gavin Wood and Geoff Cox on breakfast. Carl Magrin during the day, and my guest this week is drive host Nigel Ross. 
I chat with Nigel about life at 3TT and TTFM, and his life after radio. 
He may not be on the air as an announcer anymore, but his fingerprints are everywhere!

3MP Breakfast announcer Jon Vertigan has been in the radio industry for 29 years.

But before he got in, he was a 'prize-pig'. That's industry talk for someone that regularly phones in and wins radio contests.

Each episode, Jon will flash back to the late 80's and replay actual audio of him winning radio contests. Then, some 30 plus years down the track, he will track down the announcer who gave him the prize, to apologize to them for being a 'teenage prize-pig'.
