This lively and accessible book charts how Australian audiences
have engaged with radio and television since the 1920s. Ranging
across both the commercial and public service broadcasting sectors,
it recovers and explores the lived experiences of a wide
cross-section of Australian listeners and viewers. Offering new
perspectives on how audiences have responded to broadcast content,
and how radio and television stations have been part of the lives
of Australians, over the past one hundred years, this book invites
us into the dynamic world created for children by the radio
industry, traces the operations of radio and television clubs
across Australia, and uncovers the workings of the Australian
Broadcasting Commission's viewers' advisory committees. It also
opens up the fan mail received by Australian broadcasting stations
and personalities, delves into the complaints files of regulators,
and teases out the role of participants and studio audiences in
popular matchmaking programs.
