Question from cranky over in the 6iX thread prompted by Mike Parry’s 40 years on WA radio, which included time at West Coast Radio when Coast FM 97.3 launched.
So, where are they now?

I have a real soft spot for Coast FM Mandurah. It was the first commercial FM station (fortuitously) in Bunbury. The station launch had a brilliant accompanying TV commercial that I’d love to track down. And the engineering test broadcasts on 97.3 and 100.5 featured a 1 hour music loop. The only song I remember was ‘Welcome to the Boomtown, David and David’. Never got tired of that song.
Any other Coast FM Mandurah history appreciated.
