Mix 94.5 is a commercial music radio station owned by Austereo in Perth, Western Australia.
The station originally began as 6KY, beginning broadcasting on October 23, 1941 and would eventually end up at the frequency 1206 kHz. On June 1, 1991, 6KY became one of two Perth radio stations to convert from the AM to FM bands. The station became known upon conversion to FM as 6KYFM, and later as 94.5 KYFM, with the official call sign 6JKY. The on-air identity was later shortened to 94.5FM and then around 1997-1998 adopted the name Mix 94.5. The official call sign is now 6MIX.
Despite sharing the 'Mix' callsign, it has no relation to the Mix stations in other Australian cities. It is targeted to 25-54 year olds, and is clearly Perth's highest rating radio station, consistently experiencing an audience share unheard of in other major radio markets. It's been Perth's number one station since December 1999. In September 2005, Mix 94.5 changed its logo from the red mix in the blue ball to the one seen on the right on this page.
In March 2007 Mix 94.5 and sister station 92.9 moved from premises at 283 Rokeby Road, Subiaco, Western Australia to a new purpose built broadcast centre [seen above] at 450 Roberts Road, Subiaco.
The switch between Mix 94.5's Rokeby Road studios and the new purpose built broadcast centre in Roberts Road took place at 2pm on Monday march 5. Ian Blackley was the first person to broadcast from the new $8 million digital fitout. The first song he played was "Friday on My Mind" by The Easybeats which was #43 in the "Top 294 Songs For Grown Ups" that Mix 94.5 was playing across the long weekend.
