TEABBA AND ABORIGINAL STUDENT RADIO IN THE TERRITORY 🖤💛❤️

PODACST LINK IN BIO - 8m 19s of sweet sweet media news headlines read by young people in Radio; headlines in radio & media with a youth focus. This podcast features news from student radio and youth radio around the country as well as the ongoing Google & Murdoch dramas, commercial radio news, whatever the ABC is up to right now and Attractive entertainment news. All contributors are under 30. 🤘

Students played a pivotal role in establishing community radio in Australia. 3CCC, a defunct radio station based in Castlemaine VIC was partially built and founded by students at the Bendigo CAE (now La Trobe Uni Bendigo). The collegians ran student shows, news shows, and played various technical roles. They clashed occasionally with the older station management over issues of censorship - not everyone at the station was as progressive as those hip young kids at BCAE. There were also several active shows reserved for local high school students.

Radio is in the air...PBS released their history book last year, celebrating 40 years of alternative music and content in Melbourne. In my book, I will provide a focused account of the youth involvement that sparked the creation of PBS in the late 70s, and the particularly interesting shows lead by under 18s.

Tony Staley kindly agreed to a photo after our interview! Tony was the Minister in charge of radio stuff in 1978, and was instrumental in passing the legislation to allow full-time community radio licences. The Student Radio History book will discuss the politics underpinning the decisions to award most "educational" licences to universities, rather than to students.
