History
Satellite Music Network first started the format in 1981 as "Pure Gold", playing oldies from the early 1950s to the late 1960s. ABC Radio absorbed SMN in 1989 and in the 1990s, it changed to "Oldies Radio", tweaking the format to its current sound, which has remained unchanged despite the name changes the network has gone through.
Its sister format The True Oldies Channel airs pop music from the 1950s to early 80s that had been dropped by "Classic Hits". Upon the name change to "Greatest Mojo", hits from the 1980s returned.
