MTR The final moments 02 Mar, 2012.

View descriptionShare

After almost 2 years of operation, MTR had failed to make the desired impact in the Melbourne radio market. A dispute arose between the co-owners of the station. Drive host Luke Grant was on air when the news came through that the station was closing effective immediately. The 5pm bulletin was not meant to be broadcast, but this had not been communicated to 2GB newsreader Amie Meehan who was interrupted shortly after the bulletin began.  Not knowing she was still live to air, Amie congratulated the staff and expressed her sympathies in what was to be an unusual, but in my mind rather special end of MTR
