Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Thursday July 27 2023 The Star NEWS 11 Radio Avon back – for a day • By Tony Simons PERSONALITIES: Murray Inglis (above) and Lee Hanner (below right) preparing for the launch in July 1973. RADIO AVON, the station that shook up the Christchurch establishment and ended government-owned 3ZB’s dominance of the airwaves, will return for a brief reprise next week. More than 40 of its former staff are back for a broadcast and a reunion marking 50 years since Radio Avon 1290 was launched on August 4, 1973. The first private radio station in the city, it made an immediate impact with its new mix of pop music and on-air personalities – in the mould of Radio Hauraki, which had been enjoying similar success in Auckland. Two former Avon announcers, Morry Shanahan and Kim Adamson, will be fronting a two-hour special on community station 96.9 Plains FM from 10am on Saturday, August 5. The programme will be streamed around the world, something that would never have been possible in 1973. At one time in its 17-year history, Radio Avon had 55 per cent of Christchurch people tuning in. The journey ended in 1990 when it merged with another station and was later rebranded C93FM. Many of the original onair team from 1973 are still remembered today, such as programme director Graeme Parsonage, who was widely credited for the station’s success. Others include Wayne Douglas, Mike Richardson and perhaps the best known, Murray “Muzza” Inglis, who was still broadcasting on his own suburban radio station in Auckland until he died last year, aged 80. In a famous stunt in 1977 Inglis threw a tantrum on air, apparently in an argument with management over his contract renewal. He locked himself in the studio and continued to broadcast by himself for 48 hours. At the time, very few station staff knew it was a stunt and the story made headlines around the world. Shanahan, who joined the announcing team later in 1973, remembers some of the tricks they employed to increase audiences ratings. “We used to play the records at a higher speed to create more pace,” he said. “Not enough that the audience would notice, but enough to give the station a more lively sound – 45s were played at 48rpm and LPs at 35rpm instead of 33.” Another original on-air personality was Lee Hanner, who moved into the Lyttelton Timeball Station with his family when the city council was looking for a live-in manager. After the Timeball was badly damaged in the February 22, 2011 earthquake, Hanner talked about his time there and how it fitted in perfectly with his 8pmto-midnight shift at Radio Avon. “I’d get home about one in the morning and, with moonlight over the harbour, walking up to the building felt like going back 100 years,” he said. In 1989, tragedy struck when journalist John Foy and his former de facto wife Jill Cardwell were murdered in Cardwell’s Wainoni home. Cardwell’s boyfriend was convicted of the double murder. Foy had joined Radio Avon in 1974 before leaving to become chief reporter for Independent Radio News. His estate later established an annual award for young radio journalists at the New Zealand Broadcasting School. In 1998, a radio documentary The Rise and Fall of Radio Avon was produced by NZBS radio student Richard Holstein.

Former Broadcaster Challenges our Views on Ageing Well ADVERTISEMENT KORU NUTRITION As she enters her seventh decade, journalist and former news presenter Judy Bailey has become aware that society’s attitudes towards older people need, in her words, ‘a rev up.’ “Once you pass 65, people tend to think it’s a downhill slide to the Zimmer frame. But that’s far from the truth.” “Many of us remain physically active, paddleboarding, cycling, and even tramping well into our 70s.” With population of older adults expected to double over the next 20 years, Judy is teaming up with Koru Nutrition to change the way New Zealander’s view and experience ageing. With a focus on holistic wellness and a commitment to excellence, Koru Nutrition aims to empower individuals to take charge of their health as they age. The New Zealand-owned company specialises in natural health products, including Koru FX and Koru Joint. As part of the project, Judy will be interviewing health experts and uncovering practical steps that help us age well. “I’ll collaborate with health professionals such as nutritionists, physiotherapists, dietitians, doctors, psychologists, and osteopaths alongside the Koru Nutrition team to bring the latest research to the forefront the conversation around ageing well.” On why she chose to work with Koru Nutrition, Judy had this to say: “I love Koru Nutrition because it’s family-owned New Zealand company whose ethos aligns with my own.” “They make quality products with the best ingredients and promote a holistic approach to ageing. I believe that if you can age naturally, that’s all for the better.” “I live an active lifestyle, and as I get older, I would hate to have walks with the dog curtailed or not be able to lift the grandchildren onto the flying fox.” Judy Bailey is all set to uncover the most up to date truths on what will help us age well from some of the Always read the label and use as directed.
