Austraila’s longest-running radio show turns 80 | ABC NEWS
Australia’s longest-running radio show is celebrating 80 years on air, and while so much has changed in farming and broadcasting, the core of The Country Hour remains the same.
On December 3, 1945, not long after the end of World War II, former Hunter Valley auctioneer Dick Sneddon launched the then-national program.
All of these years later, the show is still talking about issues of food security, weather, markets and a whole lot more at midday each weekday on The Country Hour.
