The Pit FM was started in an apartment in Northbridge by a group of Australian "punks" and "metalheads".

The station moved from Northbridge to Midland in late 2011 to expand its on-site operations, offering a variety of genre-specific request and news programmes directed at the local punk community and listeners on the Internet.

The Pit FM followed an organised broadcast schedule, with each show having its own hosts, genre or theme, and a regular air-time.

The Pit published on-air interviews with Four Year Strong,[7] In This Moment,[8] Eskimo Callboy, Overkill, Six Feet Under, Alesana, Wednesday 13, Steel Panther,[9] Before The Murder, You Me at Six, Saves the Day, Casino Madrid, A Traitor Among Us,[10] Athena's Grace[11] and Chunk, No Captain Chunk!.

[12] The Pit also had interviews with music heavy-weights like Zakk Wylde, Parkway Drive,[13] Anaal Nathrakh,[14] Every Time I Die,[15] Origin,[16] and more before it ceased operations.
