In mid-1928, the Commonwealth government established the National Broadcasting Service. As licenses for the Class A stations came up for renewal they were cancelled and reissued to the National Broadcasting Service – with their transmitters and studio equipment being purchased by the Government.”

Comment
Great website, thank you so much.
One minor point, my understanding is that the A class licences were not cancelled, they simply expired and were not renewed. Further new licences were not issued to the NBS, at that time licences were not required of Commonwealth entities. Without having researched 6WF specifics, it would also be reasonable to say that the studio building and transmitter building would have been leased for a period by the Commonwealth from the owner (Wesfarmers), certainly that was the case for 4QG.

Hi
Just wondering if there were any recordings kept from 6WF. I have a relative who owned an opera company .
Count Fillipini and Contessa Nabnce Fillipini. We are looking for any recordings. Hoping you might be able to put me in contact with anyone who might be able to help. They were often heard on 6WF in the 1930’s
Thanks Jackie
