For once, it seems all the stars have aligned, if only for a day or two.
No one we spoke to could recall a time when any station, ABC or commercial, had an on-air roster with nothing but female presenters.
But on Monday, with the men folk away, including Spencer Howson and Tony Delroy, it was left to the women to take over every shift from 5 am to 10 pm.
Like Halley’s Comet, so rare was this event, it prompted Perth 620 ABC presenter Bernadette Young to tweet an image of the internal printout of the roster for the day.
We wonder what that original document might go for on eBay 30 or 40 years from now?
Well done to ABC Brisbane. But, a little research please...
- triple j had an all-female roster only 5 months ago for International Women's Day (http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/musicnews/s4418814.htm)
- Tony Delroy presents after 10pm and was on air tonight (but yes, the local lineup was all-female)
- Ms Young works in Brisbane (it's in her Twitter username in your photo)
- 620? ABC Perth is 720 and ABC Brisbane is 612.
