While looking for West Coast Eagles content to put on my website for a Web Design Project at TAFE, I discovered that ABC Radio Perth updated their Mic Flag with the black and white colour scheme seen on ABC News Mic Flags as well, but with the classic ABC Worm logo in black on a white background, rather than a black and white pattern on each side:

The Age reporting that Red Symons has been hauled before ABC management over controversial comments interviewing an ABC podcast host. I haven’t listened to the audio but the small transcript in the article looks quite uncomfortable if a bit PC.
Red Symons apologised for his comments on his show this morning.

Matthew Abraham, half of the “Matt and Dave” duo, has announced he is leaving the Breakfast program on ABC Radio Adelaide. Abraham has co-presented on ABC Radio Adelaide with David Bevan since 2002, the first nine years on Mornings, then since 2011 on Breakfast. He was also a presenter on the station in the 1990s. Abraham will co-present his final breakfast program this Friday (June 30).
I didn’t know the ABC did dual presenter breakfast programming. Are there any other regions with two breakfast presenters?
So when is the ABC going to complete its radio rebrand for regional stations?

The video and audio series will roll out, one a day on social and RN to celebrate the NAIDOC theme of ʺOur languages matterʺ; and you can now subscribe to the podcast!

ABC Regional has partnered with First Languages Australia to connect Regional content makers with local Indigenous language centres and speakers in a landmark recording project. More than 100 new radio promotions, spoken in local Indigenous languages, will be played across ABC Radio throughout NAIDOC Week. A series of ABC KIDS promotions featuring children speaking their Indigenous language have also been produced.
Some ABC Regional presenters have been taught how to say “hello” in a local language, and a number of regional stations will be undertaking language lessons, teaching audiences words from their local Indigenous communities. From Townsville to Albany, ABC’s Regional stations will be highlighting and supporting various NAIDOC Week events taking place in their local communities.

Unlikely. Even this married couple, a huge commercial success follow each other:

ABC in Adelaide have had and most likely still do have a lot of influence. Do not believe the ABC corporate line that they don’t chase ratings. In Adelaide, they very much are after the big numbers, to be in front of AA and preferably everyone else.
I am glad that Abraham is going. His interviews with Bevan, usually with politicians they don’t like make for cringe worthy radio, terrible journalism.
Why do you think DMG named their satirical voice, the work experience kid as Bevan? Paul Thompson and many of the other leaders were based in Adelaide.

The Legend from Bruce Rock, the biography on legendary ABC sports broadcaster Wally Foreman (who died on November 2, 2006), was officially launched in Perth yesterday by former VFL player Bryan Cousins, father of Ben Cousins. The book, written by Wally’s son Glen, is now available in bookshops across WA and for order online.
Didn’t Wally Foreman call the 2006 grand final with Gerard Whateley? That was the one where the Eagles won. It was Wally’s last AFL game for ABC.
For the 2006 AFL Grand Final there were two commentary calls, one by Gerard Whateley for national and Radio Australia audience, and the other by Wally Foreman for WA listeners.
