7AD Devonport - 7BU Burnie
Covering North West Tasmania
____________________________
7AD Devonport and 7BU Burnie 'provide a continuous day-time and dual night-time transmission' and many young Tasmanians were members of their Sunpolisher's Club and the Koala Club according to the latest in the popular series of Long Lost Australian Radio Stars hosted by the Radio Heritage Foundation at www.radioheritage.com.
Strange as it seems, listeners were happy to keep re-tuning their radio dials throughout the day as both stations alternated service to North West Tasmania in the mid-1940s. Station personalities included Miss Rae Cross, Miss Joan Harrington, Stuart Field, John Ford and Ted Mays.
