[edit] 8DN

This article states that 8DN became HOT 100. This is not true. HOT 100 began broadcasting in July 1991. The Australian Broadcasting Tribunal had found that HOT 100's owner (NTFM) also had control over 8DN's licencee Darwin Broadcasters. Because this (at the time) was a breach of the Broadcasting Act to own two stations in one market, the licence for 8DN was withdrawn from February 1992 and ceased to broadcast from that time. Technically, 8DN and HOTFM were separate licences, not the same. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andjb (talk • contribs) 12:02, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
