For anyone interested: --- ____________________________ Australian Heritage AM Radio 2HD Newcastle Approaching 90 years service ____________________________
Radio 2HD had gained many friends in Newcastle and the Coal Fields District within a short time of its re-opening in 1945 according to the latest in the popular series of Long Lost Australian Radio Stars hosted by the Radio Heritage Foundation at www.radioheritage.net. The original radio station was established in 1925 and was very popular in the local community through such events as the weekly concerts held at the Newcastle City Hall and Saturday Night Boxing from Newcastle Stadium. The '2HD Kiddies Club' will bring memories flooding back for some older readers who may still remember Twinkle, the personality who built up the club as a great favorite with local children. Other well known early personalities at 2HD included Stuart Dibley, Michael O'Regan, Bobby Baeck, and George Hall. This new release brings to over thirty the number of such features currently included in the Long Lost Australian Radio Stars series at www.radioheritage.net where an increasing amount of Australian radio heritage can now be found. If you have your own memories, memorabilia and more you'd like to share about 2HD Newcastle or any of the other stations featured in the series, the Radio Heritage Foundation wants to hear from you. It may be some old photos, booklets, newspaper or magazine articles or even some recordings. Memories of listening to 2HD over the years are also important and wanted because they help people understand the important community role played by 2HD over several generations. Other now long silent radio stations in the Newcastle area included in the Long Lost Australian Radio Stars series include 2HR Hunter River and 2CK Cessnock 'The Voice of the Coalfields'. The Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization connecting popular culture nostalgia and radio heritage across the Pacific and its website is www.radioheritage.net where full contact details can be found.
