Top 30 FM stars of all time (30-21)
![](https://radiotoday.com.au/wp-content/uploads/old/bradcurrent.jpg)
A few weeks ago I wrote about how great talent matters.
So I decided to put my list together of the Top 30 FM Radio Stars since the start of Commercial FM radio in 1980.
Over the past 3 decades in Australia there’s been some great world standard talent. Most are still powering on radio, some in TV, film and other media. Some we have never heard from again!
The list includes individuals and teams who consistently deliver (or delivered) great radio content, have or had longevity on the air, have achieved high ratings and are unique and innovative. I've taken into account market size, shift, format and national coverage.
So here is my Top 30 FM Radio Stars of all time on commercial radio, starting today with numbers 30 to 21:
