Radio passion started with a joke

Chris Coleman has returned to the station where his passion for radio started. “2CC was the first radio station where my voice was heard on air,” he says.“As a teenager, in the 1980s, I was recorded reading a joke for broadcast on the Peter Mobbs show. Everyone at school heard it and I realised the power of radio, it hit me. I knew that was what I wanted to do." Chris is the new host of the 3pm-6pm, weekday, drive-time show Canberra Live.
