LLBC Radio 3

LLBC Radio 3 is the third national radio service of the LLBC.

Launch
As commercial radio roared it's way onto the Laotianlandian radio band during the 1930's, LLBC wasn't able to start a monopoly, they would plan on launching a third and fourth national radio service in 1948, the third service launched as the LLBC Third Programme on October 11th 1948 and the fourth service launched as the LLBC Fourth Programme on November 1st 1948. LLBC Third Programme broadcast on 1412 KHz (announced on air as 212 metres).

LLBC Third Programme launched on the newly opened FM band in 1967.

1968 rebrand to LLBC Radio 3
With the advent of Laotianlandian offshore radio inspired by Radio Caroline and her allies, LLBC would go on to perform another rebrand to it's national radio services, LLBC Third Programme would rebrand to LLBC Radio 3 and become an oldies radio station broadcasting on 872 KHz (announced as 343 metres) on the AM band.

The AM frequency would shift to 873 KHz (still announced as 343 metres) in 1976 following the GE75.

In 1989, the continuous grow of the number of oldies commercial radio stations in the Laotianlands lead to Radio 3 losing listeners, so the format was switched to rhythmic CHR.

Closure of AM transmissions
In 1994, following the announce of LLBC Radio 5's launch, LLBC would switch off the AM transmissions of all it's national and local stations, with LLBC Radio en Francais and LLBC ilo Kalama ion Toki Pona still broadcasting on AM.

LLBC Radio 3, along with the other LLBC radio stations launched on DAB Digital Radio in 1999.
