92.9 (callsign 6PPM) is a music radio station, owned by Austereo and part of the Today Network, broadcasting in Perth, Western Australia. Until March 2007, their studios were located at 283 Rokeby Road, Subiaco, however they are now located in a purpose built broadcast centre with sister station mix 94.5, at 450 Roberts Road, Subiaco.
History
92.9 was originally 6PM on the AM band, beginning broadcasting on April 22, 1937 and in the '60s, '70s and '80s broadcast a Top 40 format on 990 kHz. The station secured significant listener market (AC Neilson) share despite a rival station (96FM) gaining a monopoly on the FM band in the 1980s.
On December 31, 1990, the station was one of two additional Perth radio stations to gain a license to convert in the FM band. They became 92.9 6PM-FM; then subsequently PMFM. The official call sign, for regulatory purposes was changed to 6PPM to reflect the move to FM. During most of the 1990's PMFM was Perth's number one radio station.
The 2000s saw PMFM change their name to The All New 92.9, and then to just 92.9. In February 2006, 92.9 changed its logo in line with the rest of the Today Network. In 2007 92.9 and sister station Mix 94.5 moved to a new purpose built building at 450 Roberts Road in Subiaco.
