ABC Double J

Double J is the ABC music station for listeners who grew up with triple j and grew out of it. The name is a tribute: Double Jay was the original name of triple j when it launched in 1975, and the modern Double J, launched in 2014, serves the audience those years produced - playing classic alternative music from the 70s, 80s and 90s alongside the best new Australian releases.

The station digs deep into the ABC archives, revives legendary live recordings, and programs with the knowledge of people who were there the first time around. It lives on DAB+ digital radio and online, since it has no FM home - which suits an audience that listens on its own terms. For anyone whose musical education happened on triple j decades ago, Double J is the reunion - the same record collection, a few decades wiser.
