Back around 1979-1982 when 4BK was Brisbane's most listened to radio station, it was the Wayne Roberts Breakfast Show which evokes such good memories of belly laughs at the breakfast table or behind the wheel on the way to work.

I saw for the first time today, an AI service which for a monthly fee, will make up posts for pages to save the page owner from having to create them or even think about it. All in the interests of clicks and ad revenue.

Oh, by the way, Retro Stream is on fire with an all 60's music weekend you might want to catch. Find it on most music streaming platforms.

He was the voice we all waited to hear each weekend, all the way from the USA.

One of my favourite memories from my early years in radio around country Queensland was playing Casey Kasem's American Top 40 off LP records on weekends.

Here's a trip down memory lane for those of you who lived and breathed pop music through the 70's and 80's.

🎶 The soundtrack of our youth wasn’t streamed… it was spun on vinyl.

Hot music gossip, straight from the guy who knew them all on a first name basis, Ray McGregor. His evening radio show was required listening in the 70's and 80's. Sure do miss having him around.
Clipping from Luke at Qld Radio Memories, thanks 👍.

From time to time, 4BK Breakfast hosted guest presenters when Wayne Roberts took some time off.

One of the most popular teams to carry on the crazy, upbeat and unpredictable brekkie slot was the much loved Brisbane show band Wickety Wak.
Here's a Friday flashback for you to enjoy 😂

Who remembers Rock'n Roll George? And his classic 1950's Holden sedan with the fluffy dice hanging from the rear view mirror?

Weekend radio, 1963 style. Peter McIntyre and Bill O'Brien were well known radio personalities in Brisbane in that era.

This is from the Sunday Mail May 19th 1963, thanks again to Luke from Queensland Radio Memories for the clipping.

A big prize competition in September 1984. I wonder who won the overseas holiday? Thanks to Luke from Qld Radio Memories for this clipping from the Brisbane Telegraph.
