Presenter Profiles

Athol 'Woody' Woodford

Being a presenter on 101FM has opened up a whole new world of music knowledge and appreciation for me. It's a dream come true.

My musical interests are fairly wide ranging and presenting Hits and Memories allows me to play the type of music I trust our listeners will appreciate.

Morning Magazine is bright and breezy with interviews, news snippets, community information and a laugh or two. Where else can you spend three hours playing music and sharing your musical knowledge for the listening pleasure of others? Who wouldn't be excited?

I enjoy presenting Morning Magazine Every Tuesday Morning and Hits & Memories on Saturdays between 9 and 11. I also present at Outside Broadcasts (OBs).

Bevin Peiper

Hi! I'm Bevin Pieper - known as "Smoky" - presenter in country music.

I was born in Gatton and lived on a farm in the Lockyer Valley. I'm married with 3 sons.

We moved from Gatton to Rochdale and have lived here 42 years. I worked at Brisbane Airport 22 years.

I've also worked at 101 fm for 25 yrs as country presenter - but I've worked, too, in production, programme managing and various jobs around the station.

At present I have a country progam Sunday morning - Breakfast in the Country 5 to 9am 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month.

Bill Hardman

I joined Radio Logan together with my wife Mary in March 1986 and we did a test broadcast from a 16 foot caravan the following month from the bottom of the water tank at Daisy Hill.
We started with a program called “Backtrack” which is still going today and is music from the 1950’s & 1960’s. We have done interviews with some of the greats from that era, Guy Mitchell, Johnny Tillotson and Cliff Richard to name a few. Backtrack goes to air on Sundays from Noon to 2pm

We once did an Outside Broadcast for a whole week in King George Square in Brisbane from 9am to 4pm each day and our station stood out because of our open air style of broadcasting and people could actually come up and talk to the announcer and watch what we were doing.

I got the opportunity to do a regular Country program sometime in 2014 on Tuesday nights between 7pm & 10pm. Country and Country Rock are my second loves of music. My favourite Country artists being Alan Jackson, George Strait, Garth Brooks, Lee Kernaghan, Adam Brand & Dwight Yoakam to name a few, there are many more.
All the music we play on 101FM is all our own collection of music from Vinyl Records & CD’s and as long as we stay in format the selection of music is up to the presenter which I like.

I have served on the committee of 101FM a number of times mainly as Treasurer and enjoyed my time with them.

Bob Ballantyne

I joined 101FM in August 1987 and served many years in Management Positions such as Treasurer, Secretary, Senior Vice President and President. I was granted Life Membership in August 1998 for dedication and service to 101FM. There were many wonderful songs recorded between 1954 and 1979. Please join me when I go down that Memory Lane on alternate Monday nights between 7 and 10 pm.
I was Born in Brisbane on 7 January 1948. Grew up in Indooroopilly close to the high school. Represented Queensland Schoolboys in Cricket and Australia Rules Football. Played QAFL for Western Districts Bulldogs, from Under 12 to 'A' Grade in 1970.
Played rhythm guitar in 60/40 band The Trojans, 1965 to 1967 around Brisbane. Played at Brisbane Festival Hall on two occaisions, supporting Jimmy Little and Col Joye, The Joye Boys and Little Pattie.

I was the inaugral President of the Greenbank Sporting Association in 1973 and served as Secretary for approx 8 years. I am also a Life Member of the German Shepherd Dog Club of Queensland. I retired from work on 2 October 2015 after 36 enjoyable years at Logan City Council.

Brian Schilling

Taking up a voluntary retirement from the Public Service

(Education Department) in 1992 provided the opportunityfor me to be a Presenter at 101FM. After a period of training I commenced "On-Air" duties in 1995.) In 1992 I became acquainted with the "Drive" format and chose to continue in that time slot over the years.

The stations format of playing Hits over a number of decades suits me well since my major interest has been contemporary music ever since I can remember. The highlight of the week is my shift on 101FM as well as church activities and delivering Meals on Wheels. I've recently been learning to play bridge with its complexities.

My wife and I moved to Ipswich 3 years ago where I grew up and have now returned after 30 years. Life in retirement is not too bad.

Charles Costello

I treasure the opportunity to be a presenter on 101 fm. It is a vibrant Community radio station; there is an air of professionalism about the way things are done; we have a wonderfully supportive listener base but, most of all, it has given me a chance to fulfil a life-time dream of being a ‘DJ”

I have always had an interest in music ever since I heard my parents singing Gilbert and Sullivan and, from the day I first heard a tune called ‘Caravan’ which, as I later discovered, was performed by Duke Ellington. I have also been playing guitar of different types since I was twenty and have added to this the ukulele.
I have been a Trivia Master for the past twenty years so I have had plenty of experience with a microphone and, having been a teacher for more than forty years, I have had to learn to project my voice and to master the art of understatement.

I enjoy a wide range of music. Starting with Gilbert and Sullivan but most light classical music and, more recently, different genres of jazz as well as Blues. I have an in-depth knowledge of popular music of the Fifties, Sixties and Seventies. I have been a Folk Music junkie for about forty years and over the past twenty years I have become interested in contemporary Australian blues and folk. I regularly attend gigs by the likes of Jeff Lang and Andrew Winton, two contemporary Aussie exponents of the slide guitar. Oh, and like many of my contemporaries, I am also a Beatles tragic.

My interests are:-
Music - both playing and listening and, more recently, presenting.
I am writing a novel – plenty of music references in it.
I still enjoy some occasional teaching.

Currently I present Classical Interlude and Jazz Junction on alternate Sundays.
Classical Interlude covers a wide range of musical genres including baroque, the great Masters such as Bach, Beethoven and Mozart, operatic solos and duets, waltz music, classical religious music and contemporary Australian classical music.
For me Jazz Junction has a heavy emphasis on the Great Swing era of the Thirties and Forties, the ‘cool jazz’ of Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, Oscar Peterson and other Fifties and Sixties maestros and lighter ‘café jazz’ exponents such as Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Diana Krall and Sarah Vaughan. I also promote local jazz musicians such as Robyn Brown and Dan Bolton.

Cyril Callighan

101FM is a vibrant community radio station and it shows through all who partake in the running of the day to day  operations, from the administration and admin support, sales, programmers and fellow presenters who are always Willing to help.
Fund raising is a big part of our 101FM, this is where you really get to know just how lucky you are to be involved.  Presenting is about giving something back to the community and knowing that you can do this makes it all worthwhile.

That is what I enjoy the giving back and the opportunity to do so.

I have no previous experience in radio but as a teenager loved the music box that ﬁlled a good part of our lives  before TV.  Some of us are old enough to remember.

I was asked what I would like to do once I retired from my job 5 or 6 years ago and hinted about doing something on  radio but had no idea how to go about it.

I heard 101FM advertising training classes and decided to give it ago. With the experience of Graham Tienan and the management crew I completed the course with 6 others. Still learning but enjoying 6 years later.

My taste in music goes back to the late 50's and 60’s that is what I enjoy most but as the years go on l am now  finding that some of today's music has what I like. A bit of rhythm and easy listening

Radio is my interest and hobby, finding new music for listeners entertainment is what I enjoy
2nd hand CD sales are where the treasures are found.  AFL is my sport of choice.

My present programs are as follows.
Party Mix on the 2nd Saturday of each month 10pm-1am.

The 3rd,4th and 5th Sundays in each month Biggest Hits and Greatest Memories 8am-Midday

Sundays are where we go back to the 60's for the final hour with a hit of fun remembering the good old days.

Well that is me in a nut shell, thank you for taking the time to read the little there is to know about and I look
forward to talking or meeting our valued listeners and supporters at 101FM

David Clark

Take the best of the 70's & 80's , add some No 1 Songs of the 60's and a few 90's as well for flavour and you have a great recipe for a great Friday afternoon 12 - 4PM. Hey - that's my time slot! We have a lot of fun, some give aways and I will get you in the mood for a great weekend. I look forward to your company every Friday from midday on 101Fm See you then.

David Uther

Hi Cats & Kittens out there in Outthereland. This is your ole buddy, the long gone Daddy of Rock 'n' Roll, Rockabilly & RNB inviting you to join me every Saturday from 2pm for 2 hours of Classic Rock 'n' Roll and Rockabilly from the Fifties to the present. If you love Hot Rods, Classic Cars and are into the Rockabilly scene, tune in for the latest details of Gigs, Swapmeets, Car Shows and all that's cool. Rock Roll & Rembember, Saturday 2pm where the action is a mad 101FM on the dial.

Derek Milburn

I love the opportunity of being on air and interacting with listeners

I have been in the navy as a cook.

my special interests are reading and collecting music

my favourite music is country and bluegrass but I love 50/60/70s music also

I am on air Wed morning 1-5 am with All Over Country and Sat morning 5-8 am again Country music and I like to include newer Australian talent to my shows.

Eddie Shannon

Recently retired as General Manager of new truck franchises in both NZ and Australia, I decided to follow my passion of Radio after finishing “on air” in 2000.

28 years of “contract” radio saw me work for Radio NZ in various capital cities, plus Private Radio Stations such as Radio Pacific and The Breeze. My passion is sport and Radio gave me a chance to front numerous Sporting Shows as well as later in my career change to a Commentator on all major sporting fixtures throughout the country.

Arriving in Brisbane in 2000, I decided to leave the broadcasting arena and concentrate on my “Commercial Career”.

101FM has given me the opportunity to once again pursue my “hobby” of Radio.

I am married, with 3 children plus 3 from my wife’s side and 8 grandchildren.

Glenn Richardson

Presenter for Bright & Beautiful Hits and other programs at various times.
I was born in Brisbane, and have lived here all of my life As a teenager in the 1970's, I became a big fan of 70's music, and remain so today, although I enjoy popular and optimistic music from the 1960's through to today as well.
My profession is managerial, presently manager of Claremont over 50s Resort Park Ridge. I have held many roles in property and development. I have been a Real Estate Agent, Truck Driver, and various other occupations, including being a pizza maker and hotel staff member in my younger days.

I became interested in radio when I won a competition on a commercial Brisbane FM station in 2001, and was a guest there on a number of occasions. The work they did, the technology they utilised fascinated me, and the personalities I came to know were nice, friendly people.

In 2007, I was fortunate to be introduced to 101FM as a client, and voiced ads for my employer. At that time I learned that they were offering a presenters course, and elected to do that.

The 101FM family is a great place to belong, and I love presenting music programs for our listening audience, especially Greatest Hits and Memories! I fill in for Drive & Greatest Hits and Memories its occasionally as well, and enjoy every single program I present

Gray Tienan

Besides being a great place to work with a great team of people, 101fm gives me the opportunity and freedom to develop each program that I present. This can be in the form of competitions and using music to present interesting concepts such as my Lost 45’s and Two Ups. I also am given the opportunity to work on station promotions, do the 101fm community files plus I have the role of music director.
From a young age I was always interest in music, and it was always my ambition to become a “radio jock”. When I was accepted into radio school it was a dream come true which lead to my first country station. I worked on a number of stations before working at 4TO in Townsville for a number of years. Over the years in radio I worked in various areas including promotions while continuing with my first love of radio, being on air. My favourite band is The Beatles and I always try to include one of their classic tracks in each show as their music never dates.

I like all types of music from the ballads to good rock. In fact any music that charted from mid-50’s too current I like, so you will always hear a big variety of music from every decade on my programs, except the 50’s which I enjoy only at home as I grew up with this music. Often I am given the opportunity to do a country shift on 101fm which I really enjoy as I have done many over my radio career.

When not messing around with music I enjoy gardening, keeping fit and dabbling in playing the guitar which I started years ago but it is fun to strum some easy songs. If only I could sing.

I present the Biggest Hits and Greatest Memories programs each Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons 12 to 4.

Hal Taylor

I enjoy being a 101FM presenter, prior to that I was a postie for about 40 years with Australia Post.
As well as a postie, I have played in numerous bands, among these were The Bandidos, The Temptations and The Trojans, to name a few.
I sang for the first time on radio 4KQ in the sixties, then went on to win the ccma award in Tamworth for the best country gospel song in 1985.
I did busking on the streets of Tamworth for quite a few years.

I met Neile Willis as the drummer of our country gospel band The Crusaders about 10 years ago, and he asked me to answer the phone while he was presenting his Thursday night country program about 2 years ago. That is when I became a member of 101fm. We now share This program on alternate weeks.
I have always enjoyed using a microphone , in clubs, pubs, birthday- Parties, etc., And feel at ease doing so.

Ian Day

Hi there - and thanks for checking us out!

I first got involved with radio at 4BH back in the 50's but then fell in love with Picture Theatres and work in various theatres for many years. The arrival of TV frightened me out of theatres as so many were forced to close. I then got into the Security Industry with Mayne Nickless / M.S.S... I then spent 36 years in the Security Industry in various management positions.

Over those years I did do some radio work and 'voice over' work as well as produced several Security Training films.

I joined 101 FM whilst still working in security. Over the years since I have presented most programs on 101 FM although for many years now I have been involved mostly with Country Music programs. I currently present "Breakfast in the Country" 5am to 8am on alternate Sundays.

I am married to Margaret who helps me out on the phones at 101 FM.

Thanks for listening and I hoped you enjoy my programs.

Have-a-Happy ... !

Ian 'Bluey' George

Your Old Mate Bluey aka Ian George

A little under 12 months ago I made the decision to do some community work, an my old mate, Alan Casonati insisted I come down to 101 to have some fun on the air. Alan and I, along with Graham Tiernan, had worked together at 4TO back in the 80's then again with Big Al at 4BH in Brisbane in the early ninety's.

I guess having worked in commercial radio as a daytime presenter for 15 years at various stations as well as into Sales Management and Marketing for 4 years, as a small business owner, then real estate online advertising as a Business Development Manager for almost 10 years, I come to 101FM with a wealth of experience to offer.

My on air expertise comes from afternoons at 4WK Toowoomba, Breakfast presenter at 4TO Townsville then back to Toowoomba at 4GR in drive, then a short stint at 4KQ. I was then appointed General Sales Manager at Stereo 10, also Lite & Easy1008 then it returned to 4IP under new management. At 4BH I covered weekend casual breakfast shifts as well as sales and marketing.
If you asked me my passion, its family and music . . . . it really is all about the music for me.
So why don't you join me in Wednesday afternoon Drive, 4-7pm.

I look forward to having you join me at 101FM.

Mary Hardman

I joined Radio Logan together with my husband Bill in March 1986 and we did a test broadcast from a 16 foot caravan the following month from the bottom of the water tower at Daisy Hill.

We started with a program called “Backtrack” which is still going today and is music from the 1950’s & 1960’s. We have done interviews with some of the greats from that era, Guy Mitchell, Johnny Tillotson and Cliff Richard to name a few. Backtrack goes to air on Sundays from Noon to 2pm. I am the main presenter on Backtrack but I also help Bill with his Country Program on Tuesday nights from 7pm to 10pm.

Matthew East

Hi, I'm Matthew East and I present Night Moves and Party Mix on various Fridays and Saturdays. Both shows run from 10pm until 1am.

I've lived in Logan City all my life, attended St Paul's primary school at Woodridge and did my secondary schooling at Trinity College, Beenleigh. Following my year 12 graduation, I commenced work in warehouse distribution.

Since I was very young, I've always loved music and radio. My parents have always been big fans of the music from the 1960s and I grew up listening to that music. I was always the 'DJ' at family celebrations.

I joined 101FM in 2010, initially as part of the youth programme Random Outburst and then from early 2012 as a Night Moves and Party Mix presenter. I really love presenting these programmes and enjoy being able to play music from the late '50s until the present time.

Although I'm only young I play plenty of "golden oldies" Hits & Memories!

Mike Anderson

The reason I have been a very contented presenter at 101fm for almost 13 years is because of the environment plus being able to present my own selection of musical content. I have always had a love of music going right back to my pre teens. Being in the music industry as karaoke owner operator for 21 years has only helped my love of music.The many loyal listeners who take the time to phone in saying they are enjoying my music and my presentation is very rewarding. My favourite music would have to be country ,from the 60's thru to today. I also love presenting what I like to call easy on the ears format , the likes of Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett just to name a few. I am currently presenting Monday afternoon 12-4pm as well as the occasional breakfast program. Thank you for tuning your radio to 101FM.

Mike Bennett

What I love about being a presenter on 101FM is the instant feedback we have with our loyal listeners via Facebook and on the telephone.

On the odd occasion when I’ve run out of bargain basement prizes for ‘name that tune’ we’ve still had plenty of interaction and listeners will join in just for the fun of it!

I’ve been made to feel very welcome at Logan 101 despite not being a local and, when I suggested that I would try and work on my accent many people contact me to say that they can almost understand what I’m saying so don’t change it.

It’s great to have freedom of choice when it comes to music content and it’s just a great fun place to work.

Obviously I’m “not from round here” and actually moved to Queensland from the UK in June 2014. We have been coming to Australia on holiday for many years and my wife Tracey (The current Mrs Bennett) lived here for a few years before we got together. We have been together since 1997 but only tied the knot in 2011. . . well, there’s no point in rushing these things! We had our wedding ceremony overlooking Miami Beach on the Gold Coast and decided there and then that we wanted to settle here so we worked our way through the system, sold up the UK and the rest, as they say, is history!

There isn’t a day that goes by when we don’t appreciate what a wonderful country we live in.

Although it doesn’t sound like it, I’ve been involved in radio since I was still at school in the days of valve amps, LP records and reel to reel tape! (Kids, ask your parents!)

I’ve been fortunate enough to present daytime, evening and weekend breakfast shows on various stations in the UK, Scandinavia and Europe over the years and radio is still, by far, my favourite pastime.

In ‘real life’ I’m a trained TV News and sports cameraman/interviewer and along with Tracey, run a crisis management media training company called Media Answers Australia. We provide training courses to companies who may be faced with media interest during a major incident and this work has taken us around the world.

The music I really love includes everything from the Beatles to Taylor Swift with a touch of AC/DC and Bon Jovi thrown in for good measure. Having said that, Neil Diamond, Elton John, Barry Manilow and of course Kylie, feature on my ‘type of music’ but anything with a ‘radio’ feel works for me.

We saw Barry Manilow live in Vegas and he was the ultimate showman then more recently, Hugh Jackman at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre. He was just a great all round performer so it’s fair to say my musical tastes are very broad. Some of the top 40 chart material makes great radio airplay – people like Rob Thomas, Bruno Mars, Olly Murs, Robbie Williams, Little Mix, Katie Perry etc.

Most radio presenters enjoy playing tracks with a decent intro to talk over but, if I was really pushed into one style of music I’d lean towards rock/pop. . . doesn’t really help does it??

I really enjoy following the rock theme, I have played drums for as many years as I’ve been involved in radio and actually joined a band the week we arrived in Australia. We did everything from traditional Rock ‘n roll, Elvis, The Beatles, Stones, Billy Joel, Dire Straits through to Frank Sinatra and popular covers from the 60s and 70s.

Neile Willis

I am able to share my music with the community, not too far to travel and there is a great camaraderie among members.

Born in Cleveland, early schooling Cleveland, Carina, Rochedale and Buranda State Schools. Sports include cricket, tennis, squash, table tennis, badminton, fun running and aerobics. Worked as Electronics Storeperson with TAFE, over 31 years. Married Val December 1966, one son and one daughter. Now have two grand daughters. Have played drums since 1960, these days for the Country Gospel Music Club.

I like easy listening Country and Country Gospel, Jazz, Latin American, 1950's / 60's, light Classical.

My hobby is presenting country music on 101FM.

Currently I co-present Thursday Night Country with Hal Taylor, 7-00PM to 10-00PM.

Nicko

Hi Nicko here,
My life ambition was to be a presenter. I have been on 101FM for twelve years.
I do "Night Moves" (10pm to 1am) every second Wednesday night and "Party Mix" (7pm to 10pm) on the second and fourth Saturday every month. My favourite music is the sixties, it was an exciting era to grow up in.
Although I experienced the seventies I was influenced by the music of two older sisters. We grew up on the north coast. The surf scene was the go....... I stlll remember the "sockhops" and my sister with her "bobby socks".
We frequented the Mooloolaba surf life saving club. I remember the "woodies" parked outside.
A lot of my sisters friends were lifesavers with their girlfriends. Rock and Roll was big and there were concerts in town. Both my sisters had a cleaning job at a motel where the stars stayed between gigs.
They used to come home with Col Joy, Billy Thorpe, Normie Rowe signatures on their school hats in lipstick..........Mum was not impressed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Rock and Roll and the sixties influence. Outside of 101FM I enjoy cooking, spending time with my mates, going away in my caravan. I also enjoy dancing.............Rock and Roll of course.
I love to interact with my audience, to convey my sense of humour and with that I look forward to the phone calls and value their time to listen to my show. I also like to embrace the music and make a difference in their lives.....

Paul Barrett

Hi!

It's Paul Barrett inviting you to have breakfast with me every weekday morning from 5, including news on the half hour, traffic, on this day & birthdays plus heaps more. I've been working in radio now for nearly 20 years & love every minute of it.

When I'm not behind the microphone, I love catching up with friends & family, movies & catching some concerts around Southeast Queensland, over the years I've seen Arrested Development, Billy Joel, The Dixie Chicks & Wendy Matthews to name a few.

Paul Burchill

I have been with 101FM since 1990, my first program the Classic Rock Clock was a 60's show, Bill and Mary Hardman were my mentors. Music is a real passion of mine, I ran my own mobile DJ company for 26 years and loved entertaining children as my alter ego "DJ Crazy"
Radio lets me be myself, away from my normal daily grind. In my spare time, I enjoy Traveling, camping and spending time with my family in the great outdoors.
I'd love you to join me every second Friday from 4pm, when I drive you into the weekend playing the best from yesterday to today, on Logan Cities 101FM.

Paul J Tyler

Radio 101fm is like a family and gives me the opportunity to play the music the listeners seem to enjoy.

I've been in the entertainment industry from the age of 19 . Start as a floor show and recording artist.. Later i advanced to become a professional D.J where i introduced Thriller from Michael Jackson to Qld. I later went on to be awarded D.J Entertainer of the year 7 times in the 80s and 90s...

I enjoy music programming ....Golf....Boating....and soon to become a marriage celebrant.

The program I present is Tuesday Drive Time 4pm to 7pm

Peter Hope

Hi, I am Peter Hope.
I present "Sunday Morning Biggest Hits and Greatest Memories" 8.00am - Noon and various other casual fill in programs when requested.

The people who would enjoy my program are everyone who appreciates & enjoys good music from the 50's to the present. It is a real challenge but also my pleasure to personally select music for you.

I trust that it brings a bright interlude into your Sunday or daily routine during the week. When you relax on Sunday it should be just the kind of music that you enjoy.

Your phone calls & comments tell me you like what we play here on 101FM.

Just a little background so we can get to know each other.

I served in the Royal Australian Navy at the age of 19 as a Sonar Technician, tracking submarine movements in the South China Sea. I served in Vietnam during the Vietnamese War back in 1969/70.

When I was discharged from the Navy I enlisted in the Queensland Fire & Rescue Service, where I was employed as a Senior Station Officer.

I remained in that very rewarding profession for the next 32 years & I had the opportunity to help a lot of people in times of disaster & adversity.

I am retired now but I still have the desire to give to those who can use a hand or are in trouble.

So maybe that is why I enjoy bringing you some good music & a little happiness on 101 FM.

I have been a past Vice President & President of this wonderful Station as well as training many of our on air presenters. This is a great Station with fine people who enjoy sharing your company.

I hope you enjoy sharing ours.

Have a happy life & share some laughter with others.

Ross Burns

The best part about being a radio presenter at 101FM is the opportunity to play songs that evoke powerful memories for our listeners. I particularly like to play songs that everybody knew back in the day, but which have long since ceased getting played on other radio stations. I like to think that when I play them, some of our listeners are going to exclaim “I haven’t heard this in ages! I used to love this song”. It reminds me of…”

I also like to be able to offer interesting tidbits and background information about some of the songs and their artists.
The best thing about 101FM is that the station doesn't oblige me to play songs from a narrow playlist, but gives me the freedom to play the songs that I know will give our listeners those “feel good moments”.
Your background history or special interests that you would like to share with listeners.

I spent a few years in the early 1980s as a DJ at a popular roller-skating rink and also had a regular job as DJ at parties and wedding receptions.

My favourite music era is from 1975 to 1985, but I also have tremendous respect for the calibre of songs that were released in the late Sixties. I prefer songs that made the Top 40 in their day, rather than the quirky or alternative stuff.

Each year, I spend several weeks in the US as part of my ongoing quest to visit all 50 states.

I often present Hits and Memories shows on Saturday mornings, or Party Mix on Saturday nights. However, when work commitments don’t take me interstate, I also often present the Late Show on Tuesday Nights and during that time I like to feature the music from a single year during the Sixties, Seventies or Eighties and take the listeners back in time with popular songs from that year, while also revisiting aspects of that year including significant events, popular movies and TV shows, the prices of basic goods and the items that were the sought-after gadgets or popular Christmas gifts back then.

Simone Feiler Clark

Simone loves radio and has worked in world class radio stations around the globe including Q103 in Cambridge, KIX-106-Fm in Canberra and Triple M Brisbane.
She's married to Aussie country music star Terry Clark and is mum to twins Sunny and Melody and 9yo Michaela.
She also has her beautiful Pomeranian Bell and Bo Brady.
Simone and her family reside in Logan and on the weekend over Summer you'll find her at little A's with her girls, they are all very sporty.
Listen to Simone Thursday mornings for her favourite selection of music from the 70's through to now

Ted Thirkill

I have been a member of 101FM since 1986 and have been doing regular on air shifts since we were granted our broadcast license in 1988. What I like about 101 FM is I can play my favourite music for my listeners out there to enjoy.

I do a program every Saturday at 4pm that I call Ted's Memories which is 3 hours of music from my favourite eras the 50s&60s. I also do a program every 2nd Monday night between 7 & 10 called Down Memory Lane where I play mainly easy listening music out of the 50s with some easy 60s and it is music you don't hear on Commercial radio I like a lot of the 70s music. I am not a great fan of modern music or heavy classical (too boring) or heavy metal. Most other music I like. I like being with 101Fm. They are a great team and I hope I can still be on air entertaining listeners in the Logan /Brisbane area and the world wide web for many years to come.

Terry 'T.J.' Blacker

My radio career commenced in 1977 with commercial radio 6NW in WA presenting a variety of ‘on-air’ programs including talk-back and interviews.
I have also been associated with the following stations:
6KA Karratha, Central Radio 87.6FM Beenleigh, 100.3 Bay FM, 91.3FM Yeppoon, Prime Radio 4RO Rockhampton, 4CC Gladstone, and the Super Radio Network FM93.5.

My roles within these networks have included Station Manager, Program Director, Music Director, Sales Manager, together with various on-air broadcasting programs.

When you are 'on air', the most important person in your life is your listener.

I'm constantly reminded why people listen to the radio:

Entertainment
Access to information
Relaxation

Companionship

The most important thing is....never forget your listener.
