I worked at 6WB from 1970 until about 1986. We had some great fun times. I remember my boss's David Farr and Des McDonald. During my time, the station was owned by TVW, The Bell Group (Robert Holmes a Court) and Barry Martin and John K Watts. (Radio West). 6WB will turn 75 next year. Look foward to part 2. Regards Brent John,

TVW Perth took a leap in creative direction and filled its viewers hearts. The worst day of Dad's life was when he was voted off the board, he had to leave because of an accident that wasn't even his fault, after he left, no one of the staff was allowed to visit him or they were to be fired, it broke his heart, that's why he died so young, he kept it all inside. He kept going making more accomplishments, 96fm radio station, the next commercial television license, everything he did was a major success, but he never got over the back stab of that time in TVW, they were the best days of his life, and he was the best Im now relating to the expression ‘there’s nothing like the good old days’

Is the 1974 date above correct for GSW9? I've got in the book Broadcasting In Australia (Australian Broadcasting Tribunal, 1991) that GSW9 (Southern Agricultural) launched 29 August 1967? Is 1974 the launch date of the local Albany translator (GSW10) perhaps? Hi Ken. Is the 1974 date above correct for GSW9?
