The station also presented a mix of new music, with club classics - and gained its popularity primarily based on the music mix, however, the radio station offered a number of personalities and a format that was a viable listening alternative to the mainstream commercial broadcasters.

This required all preparatory work to be completed ahead of time, which was the case, and the studios just needed to function – thus were built using old desks, old wall dividers and office panels, milk crates, and borrowed equipment.

The office holders of the outgoing Committee closed down the broadcast and restricted access to the studio facilities.

It was this action that was key to the organisation being refused a permanent (long term) broadcasting licence.

In recent times, since the issue of full-time licences in 2001, the organisation (Central Melbourne FM Incorporated) itself has lapsed through nil activity.
