Long Lost Australian Radio Stars Shine Again A new series of articles now on-line at www.radioheritage.net goes back almost 60 years to reveal the long lost radio stars who made 2KY Sydney, 2CH Sydney and 2CA Canberra top stations of the mid-1940's. Andy Flanagan (originator of 2KY's 'Sports Talks'), Eric Walker (Wrestling from Leichhardt Stadium), Bob Pollard (2CH 'Hit Parade'), Charles Stanley (2CH 'Good-morning Man'), Len Major (2CA Breakfast Announcer) and Phil Drummond ('Tops of the Pops') are just a few of the stars who shine again. With photos, biographies and more, these three articles provide a unique window into the world of Australian radio in 1946. Hidden for decades, 2KY Radio Personalities, AWA Station 2CH and 2CA Canberra Voices are part of a new series about Australian radio heritage now being released exclusively at www.radioheritage.net. The Radio Heritage Foundation is a New Zealand based non-profit organization dedicated to preserving, protecting and promoting radio heritage from around the Pacific Rim. The 2KY Radio Personalities story has already rocketed towards the top of the list of viewed radio articles at www.radioheritage.net within a few days of being released without publicity.
