SAFM is a commercial FM radio station in Adelaide, primarily targeted at those in the 10-24 age group. It is part of the Austereo radio network and broadcasts on 107.1 MHz.

History

The station commenced broadcasting in 1980, on the frequency of 107.5 MHz, with a callsign of 5SSA and an on-air ID of "Double SA-FM". It was the first commercial radio station to broadcast on the FM band in Adelaide.

Later, it changed its name to "SAFM", and altered its frequency slightly to 107.1 MHz.

Throughout the late 1980's, most of the 1990s and the early 2000s, it was the highest rating station in Adelaide; in 2005, however, it dropped back to third position, behind talk station FIVEaa and music station Mix 102.3.
