World Radio Day

A blast from our yesteryears got us all excited thinking of the glory days of radio in Australia. From the early AM-only days through to the multitude of channels that we have today, our ears rang with delight at the sounds long gone. We began with a small explanation of World Radio Day, how different radio waves work and the history of commercial radio in Australia. We listened to excerpts from programs like 'Dad and Dave', 'Blue Hills', and sporting events and commercials. Ahh, the memories came flooding back! We exchanged a variety of stories of favourite programs and programs from other countries, and looked at pictures of old radio episodes and the big units of days gone by that we grew up with. The halcyon days of radio may now be long gone, but they will never be forgotten.
