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:
“I perceived that to express those impressions, to write that essential book, which is the only true one, a great writer does not, in the current meaning of the word, invent it, but, since it exists already in each one of us, interprets it. The duty and the task of a writer are those of an interpreter.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building. The reason is that full-time, one-on-one child-raising is not good for women or children.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
