Golden Days Radio - Current Activities

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:

    It is a quite remarkable fact that the great religions of the most civilized peoples are more deeply fraught with sadness than the simpler beliefs of earlier societies. This certainly does not mean that the current of pessimism is eventually to submerge the other, but it proves that it does not lose ground and that it does not seem destined to disappear.
    Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)

    Minds do not act together in public; they simply stick together; and when their private activities are resumed, they fly apart again.
    Frank Moore Colby (1865–1925)
