Im not sure you’ve followed this correctly.
AustralianAerial commented saying why would she want to move to Regional radio. I think he thinks they’re talking about Dee Dee doing Nicole Chvastek’s Statewide drive show when theyre suggesting Dee Dee taking over Jacinta’s Melbourne afternoon’s.
Bingo - apologies for any confusion.
Yeah I assumed it was taking over the Parson’s show heard on Melbourne and regionals.
Does anyone know where in Port Lincoln the radio transmitters for 5LN were located in the 1960’s. I believe 5NL was not a broadcasting station at that time just a translator for 5CK. There was a transmission station and a house for the technician on the site.
Trevor’s appointment is only up to the end of this year, so it’s possible there will be another Afternoons presenter in 2024.
It will also be interesting to see who will present overnights nationally from next week.
Article from the ABC website says:
Michael Pavlich will present Overnights from Monday to Thursday until the end of the year.
Is that the same Trevor Chappell as the cricketer from the 80s?
And when I saw the Pavlich name, i thought “what’s with the ABC using ex sports personalities!”. Until I realised it was a different Pavlich!
No, a different Chappell (no relation), but Pavlich is a relation of ex-Docker Matthew.
Yep different Pavlich and Chappell but a big loss to the overnight listeners. I’d say they might have a bit of trial then to make sure he likes the afternoons if it’s only until 2024 but when he want on ait with Pav this morning to announce the news it certainly sounded like it was a goodbye and a handover. Pav has been Trevs producer for a long time too and they’ve certainly built up a big audience for overnight and a big following. Will miss him in that timeslot though as will many others.
ABC Radio Brisbane again broadcasting each day from the Brisbane Ekka this year between August 12th and 20th.
Mornings, Afternoons, Drive and Weekend Morning programs will broadcast from the Royal International Convention Centre building.
5LN is currently transmitting from this site as per Google Street View at approx 71 Cardiff Road at the east end of town…… there’s a couple of buildings behind the trees that could be related.
Given its central location, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s been there since the 60s?
I agree that’s likely too.
The Radio Australia logo is confusing.
How do you mean?
It’s an ABC Newcastle story. It mentions they are leaving the ABC.
I don’t see any connection in the story to Radio Australia 
Agree, and the logo looks too similar to the Local Radio ones too.
Re R. Aust logo: Yes… I’ve never figured why they did that as I thought some programming was their own & some from other networks vs being a clone of ABC Local.
