The big Raw FM broadcast is almost over.
Petitions are being circulated, especially by
the Chaddie chicks who vow to drop them off "where no cool chicks
have been before". [referring to the outer suburbs]
There's lots of money coming in..
via memberships and on-air sponsorship, but
everyone's stress goes up,
and patience is a thing of the past.
Granger goes back to cocaine, Zelda stays
with Robert.. the members suggest that Zelda takes over as
President..
Things finally happen between Cara and
Granger (although its a disaster) and the ABA has no good news for the
station.
As the broadcast ends, Marco is president,
the station is called 111.1 Raw FM,
and over 25's are not allowed into
the building.
The final scene has Zelda, Robert and Granger
together, as they were at the start of the series, planning another
possible radio station.

The last weeks of Hitz's third broadcast
were just as intense.. thousands of petitions and letters were signed..
newspapers ran editorials.. but as the deadline of March 12 approached
rapidly, the chance of a reprieve diminished.
The final day of the broadcast was
incredible.. every request received during the 3 months was tabulated
into a "top 89", and all the main DJs presented a two hour
'goodbye' shift.
Each shift began with a 60 second
highlight/goof tape (made without the DJs knowledge)
The final hour was made up of specially
picked songs, thankyou's and a surprise visit by Molly Meldrum.
As the clocked ticked over to midnight,
the last sound's of the station's
history-making broadcast was a single voice..
Ladies and Gentlemen..
Hitz FM has now left the airwaves.
The street at the front of the building
was full of cars.. beeping their horns..
They were listeners who had driven from all
over Melbourne..
without any prompting on-air whatsoever.
