____________________________ Long Lost Australian Radio
Stars 2GF Grafton, 2KA Katoomba
and 3GL Geelong
____________________________  The latest additions to this popular series hosted by the Radio
Heritage Foundation at www.radioheritage.com have now been published. The features take a nostalgic look back 65 years to the mid-1940s and
the personalities, programs and station profiles of Australian
Heritage AM Radio across the country before TV and FM arrived on the
scene. Slightly quaint and qwirky by today's standards, the first series has
reached over 50 features of individual stations giving a wonderful
insight into how radio entertained and informed Australians of the
age. Fans of any of these individual stations can now be recognized online
as well if they become a current sponsor.  The new features cover two original NSW country radio stations 2GF
Grafton and 2KA Katoomba, as well as 3GL Geelong and all three are
free to access at www.radioheritage.com.  Old station publicity and photos have been found to illustrate the
features along with original station logos. 2GF Grafton - The Voice of the Clarence was "First for Information,
First for Entertainment and First for Inspiration' and station
manager was J K S Lowe whilst Miss B Charleston 'a keen horsewoman
and golfer' was an announcer. "In permanent relay with Station 2GZ", 'The Voice of the Mountains'
2KA broadcast from studios in the main street of Katoomba. Although
it 'does not claim metropolitan listeners, probably no other country
station is received better in Sydney' says the feature. "Old Established 3GL' began broadcasts 80 years ago in November 1931,
the second country station in Victoria. Owned by the Geelong
Advertiser newspaper, 3GL carried Victorian Football League matches,
the 'Cashmere Bouquet Show' and had a staff of 19 people. If you have your own memories, memorabilia and more you'd like to
share about any of these stations, or any of the more than 50 stations
featured in this series, the Radio Heritage Foundation wants to hear
from you. It may be some old photos, booklets, newspaper or magazine articles
or even some recordings. Memories of listening to the radio over the
years are also important and wanted because they help people
understand the important community role played by radio over several
generations. Coming soon....2MW Muwillumbah, 2KM Kempsey and 3BA Ballarat......at www.radioheritage.com ________________________________________________________
