News at 98.9 North West FM
v Welcome
to our website - keeping you up to date with what’s on. v
Australia’s
Biggest Morning Tea: North West FM will be
hosting Australia’s Biggest
Morning Tea again this year at our studios in Charles Street Hadfield on
Thursday May 22 at 10.30 am. This raises much-needed funds to assist The
Cancer Council in cancer research, education and support services.
v
Vale
Mick Pearson:
North West FM shares with members and listeners deep
sadness at the passing of Michael John (Mick) Pearson on April 10, 2008. Our
sincere sympathy to his wife, family and friends.
Mick joined us 18 months ago and presented two programs
each week: “One Hit Wonders” on Fridays and “No. 1 Hits” on Thursdays. Mick
was a bright chatty personality, presenting music that he loved. He will be
sadly missed.
v
One of the longest running programs on North West FM, Alex The Seal (Thursdays 9pm) will
soon be merging with Streets Of Your Town (Thursdays 10.30pm).
The new (as yet unnamed
program will run from 9pm to 10.30 pm with Steve Groves and David Whiting
alternating as host.
v
Peter Smith (Friday
Morning Magazine) is recovering from his recent illness and we wish him a
speedy recovery.

Mr. Polyfilla Award for his efforts.

Congratulations to Bridie
Byrne (D-Selection),
one of two lucky people offered a journalism cadetship at the Warwick Daily
News in Queensland for a year. We wish Bridie the best in her future as a
journalist.
v
The Craigieburn
Festival was held on February 24 2008 and North West FM again
managed the Main Stage. Of particular note was Stace (Radio Elvis),
very entertaining and popular with his repertoire of Elvis songs!
However, Darren Grindrod (For Your Pleasure) won
the award for 'talking under concrete' - he kept it up for at least 30
minutes without repeating himself once while he and the audience patiently
waited for the 'next performer' to arrive and get ready.
v
Congratulations to
Carlo from the “Viva Italia” program for his Highly Commended Award in
the category of “Contribution To Ethnic Broadcasting” at the CBAA Conference
Awards on Saturday November 24, 2007. Quite an amazing effort, especially when
the winner was a full time (Melbourne wide) Ethnic language station!
Also
congratulations to Ivor and the team from “Sports of all Sorts” for
being finalists in the category of “Excellence In Sports Programming”.
v
The annual Broadmeadows Community Festival
was held on Sunday November 18, 2007. The crew from North West FM were there,

(North West Amateur Footy Report) was named

other joint winners were from Inner FM and Southern FM for their combined
efforts in broadcasting the VAFA Grand Final which was simulcast on all three stations.
The award recognised Glenn's efforts in
