A long, long time since I've seen the 'New 2UW 1110 On Your Transistor' 60's bumper sticker. And what a memory shaker to once again hear 'Hunter Territory' and John Melouney's sign off track. Great stuff and well done to Wayne and all those involved in putting this montage together.

In the late 60's i spent a lot of time in the NEW2UW studios in Kent St. I was a guest of Ward Austin in the "Coming Home From School Club", and played my fav records with Ward one Saturday afternoon. Tony McClaren Drowned in a Sydney To Hobart yacht race in the 60's. I have a 2UW Tribute to him on cassette.

It always interests me to see how American influences were so pervasive in so many places - this is just like the USA. The jingles are from America, the ads sound the same, the weekly giveaway Top 40 lists are identical, and the contests / promotions are too!

Until the British Invasion of 1964, the bulk (more than 80%) of our pop music came from the USA. In fact, prior to 1961, it was not unusual to find a Top Forty chart from anywhere around Australia that featured nothing but American artists....with the occasional Aussie in the mix.

Yeah.. In the sixties, John Brennan and then Rod Muir frequently visited the U.S. on fact finding missions to get ideas on how to make 2SM sound better.If you listen now to 60's U.S. air checks the popular music stations over there back then had the 'format', 'reverb', 'heavy compression' and 'tight' programming that followed on here... not to mention the Pams Jingle packages. UNFORTUNATELY three decades later we had to copy their idea of having a 'breakfast' team... two or three unfunny, overpaid kids who's producer's feed them only the smuttiest gossip possibly bordering on rumour to present to their audience as exclusive fact. Aah, bring back 60's 70's radio or even Doug Mulray in the 80's (he was smutty but was also talented).

It was a sad time when in the 60's the request show presenter on Saturday nights, Jeff Hall, died when his catamaran tipped over. The news hit we UW lovers badly. All those DJ's on UW were the greatest..but those die hard lovers of SM will disagree..."Don't worry folks" we used to say to SM lovers..."It's only a mindset, you'll get over it"..hehe. The climate since then has changed, all but a few AM stations have disappeared.

Yep, got that one. I remember Ward saying in an interview that the guy that sang that for him passed away a long time ago.. possibly late 60's. That was one of his themes for the start of his 2nd or 3rd hour. Do you remember his full intro theme starting with the "William Tell Overture?"

I was just thinking how 'untight' the guy was at the start of this video...you could drive a truck between the end of the jingle and the start of Eloise! Wouldn't have done for the likes of Grant Goldman...back in his 4IP days he was tightness personified...the song would have been well & truly established before the jingle died!

Beautiful. Can you upload it so that we can all appreciate it. I don't remember the "William Tell Overture?" theme, but it might rush back if I heard it. In late 1967 I was a labourer with the Water Board (I had just left school) and we were putting on the sewer in Ward's street and his wife used to pop out on the verandah in one of his shirts.

i won tickets to the beatles when they came to sydney in june 1963, the 11th i think. All i remember of the show, apart from actually being there in the statilum, was the noise. there was no way that anybody could have heard them. I want to know , if anybody can help, who was the rocker i think it was john somebody, who was a supporting act, and came out in all leather black and was booed . Of course he was booed, we were all mods, lol with our white stockings , really pale makeup, like twiggy.

Hello 2012 if you get this message ; the rocker you are probably thinking of is Johnny Chester, there were about 6 acts on before the Beatles but Johnny Chester wore a black leather outfit. It was 1964, not '63. I kept the programme so I did know a lot about that night, unfortunately my house was burgled in 1978 and the programme was stolen !
