Episode Synopsis

In this penultimate episode of "The Station | Remembering 3GL," Gary Newton and Rod McLure discuss the pivotal transition period when Hoyts Media acquired 3GL...rebranding and overhauling the station. Former 3GL station manager John Humphrey and former announcer/program manager Denis Scanlan share their experiences during this tumultuous time.  Significant events include an 'appearance' from Australian PM, the late Bob Hawke, the introduction of new management under 'Cyclone Nick', wide scale staff terminations, the station's eventual re-sale (yet again) and transformation into K-ROCK. This explosive exposé delves into the challenges and changes that marked the end of 3GL's 60-year history.Send us a textNature's Cuppa 100% Organic Tea & CoffeeHelping 1 Million Tea Lovers Discover The Superior Taste Of 100% Organic Tea at Woolworths S/marketsSafe Solutions CareRespite and Care Services for Aged & DisabledDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
