Re: [Swprograms] New Year on Radio Australia
I was listening via wifi radio. The name of the show is the
Coodabeen Champions, a popular weekend program on ABC Local Radio; so
this is a special edition for New Year's. Ian McNamara (a/k/a
"Macca"), the host of Australia All Over broadcast on Saturday
mornings, is one of the hosts for the New Year special. It was
broadcast from Sydney and the description was not of the Hobart
celebrations but of the Sydney Harbour fireworks extravaganza.
Curiously, the program was aired "live" at midnight in Sydney,
Melbourne and Hobart and repeated at midnight in Adelaide a half hour
later, Brisbane a half hour after that, and Darwin, a further half
hour later. I assume this will happen across the country. One
program from one location ringing in the New Year across ABC Local
Radio via repeats. Perhaps a result of cost-cutting?

I listened to Radio Australia on 9.590 MHz this morning to hear their
New Year's coverage. At tune-in the announcers played a song (it
sounded to me like a haunting re-make of the Donovan song about
Atlantis?), then did a countdown and described the fireworks show over
the harbor at Hobart Tasmania. I didn't listen long enough to know
whether it was a remote broadcast from Tasmania or what. Had to go to
work.
