History The
Sports of All Sorts program commenced from a humble beginning in 1994, when
Ivor Jenkins, a volunteer presenter at community radio 98.9 North West FM
since it commenced full time broadcast in April 1993, was asked to fill a
Saturday morning time slot for a one or two week period. Ivor
provided a music format initially but while attending a social function with
friends, with whom he had grown up and played sport, suggested that they join
him in presenting a sporting program. Gerard
Delaney, Mick Delaney & Kevin Donnelly joined Ivor and became presenters
and commentators for the Sports of All Sorts. Mick Delaney was responsible
for the program’s name. Jim Calthorpe and Melanie
Jones have recently joined the Sports of all Sorts team. Melanie has
represented Australia and Victoria in Women's Cricket. Initially
a one hour program, it was extended to two hours, then three hours and
currently four hours, following its success and popularity with the listening
audience. The
content of the program has always concentrated on local sporting
organisations, clubs or individuals. Many of the clubs compete in elite
competitions, others in local competitions. Many individuals have represented
their club, Victoria and Australia, at the highest levels. Whether
interviewing an elite athlete or a 10 year old member of a local sporting
club, the members of the Sports of All Sorts are able to make their guests
comfortable in the different surroundings of the radio station, whilst
extracting the details of their performances, which are interesting and
informative for the listeners. These interviews have been successful in
recognizing the achievements of numerous sportspeople, whose notable
performances would otherwise go unannounced to the community at large. Not
only have Sports of All Sorts interviewed the decision makers in the
North-West area, but they have encouraged the successful performers to speak
about their achievements and future expectations. The involvement of parents
and office-bearers are acknowledged by the presenters, as well as the
performances of the athletes. Sports
of All Sorts has
formed strong bonds with many sporting organizations which provide media
releases or representatives for on air interviews. Ivor Jenkins hosted his final Sports Of
All Sorts show on Saturday April 10th, 2010. Achievements Another award for Ivor
Jenkins:
Congratulations to Ivor Jenkins for his “Highly Commended” award in the VicSpirit category of the 2008/09 Cricket Victoria Media
Awards on 28 April 2009. Read
more Many
of the sporting bodies which have been promoted and encouraged on the Sports
of All Sorts, have provided written confirmation of the program's promotion
of their sport and clubs which has had a beneficial impact on their
organizations. The
standard of the Sports of All Sorts program has been recognized by The
Australian Basketball Association, by awarding them the Best Radio Coverage
in their South Conference in 1998, their East Conference in 1999, South/East
Women's Conference in 2000 and also the National award in 2000, ahead of many
commercial radio stations, in both Metropolitan and Country areas. In
June 2005 the Sports of all Sorts received Cricket Victoria’s Best Radio Media Award.
The program was highly recommended in an article in the Sunday Age on 16th
April 2000 as a "grass roots, community-minded" sports program. The
Leader Newspaper Group featured articles on the Sports of All Sorts in all
its north-west newspapers on June 1997 and September 2000. During
the Sports of All Sorts programs, community activities, such as council
festivals, school fetes, service organizations’ fund raising or charitable
organizations’ appeals are promoted each week. Various
competitions, for prizes supplied by local sponsors of the clubs, have been
well supported with entries continually coming in. These competitions are
good indicators of the level of interest in the program by the listeners. The presenters of Sports of All Sorts are
always looking to improve the program to better promote local sporting bodies
and individuals to the listeners and thus encourage a healthy community
participation in the North West. Other
