New Zealanders Make Good
A remarkable feature of Australian radio, according to B. T. Sheil, is the success of New Zealand trained announcers. Hardly a New Zealand announcer has failed to make good, and many of them have gone right to the top. Among the most successful is Harry Withers, formerly of Station 1ZB, who is now attached to 2UE Sydney, and conducts the most ori§inal breakfast session in Australia. One morning Mr. Sheil found him holding a quiz session in the 2UE studio at 7.30 in the morning. He had attracted an audience of over 70 people, some of them stopping in on their way to work, many having got up early just to be present at the broadcast. Benno, who was also with the ZB’s, is now attached to a Brisbane station, and Peter Bathurst is free-lancing. Bathurst does regular commentaries for Australian newsreels.
