Current Activities
Golden Days Radio broadcasts 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. More than 35 presenters provide live programming from 7.30 am to 11.00 pm each day with the remaining overnight period supplied by pre-recorded music. The station has a total staff in excess of 90 people: all are volunteers.
In 2009, following a request from the MRC (Melbourne Racing Club), the station moved into new premises at 1236 Glen Huntly Road, Glen Huntly. The new premises have 3 state of the art studios together with reception, a scheduling room and music library.
In February 2011, the station started streaming its broadcast signal around the world. This has increased the number of listeners considerably as this station is the only station in the world that plays music from the '30s to '60s constantly.
From 1 November 2011, the station's application for entry to the Register of Cultural Organisations was approved by the Federal Government. This means that donations of $2.00 or more to the public fund "Golden Days Radio Development Fund" are now tax deductible.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or activities:
“A man is a little thing whilst he works by and for himself, but, when he gives voice to the rules of love and justice, is godlike, his word is current in all countries; and all men, though his enemies are made his friends and obey it as their own.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Love and work are viewed and experienced as totally separate activities motivated by separate needs. Yet, when we think about it, our common sense tells us that our most inspired, creative acts are deeply tied to our need to love and that, when we lack love, we find it difficult to work creatively; that work without love is dead, mechanical, sheer competence without vitality, that love without work grows boring, monotonous, lacks depth and passion.”
—Marta Zahaykevich, Ucranian born-U.S. psychitrist. “Critical Perspectives on Adult Women’s Development,” (1980)
