South Australia’s Power FM has celebrated its 25th birthday in spectacular style, taking listeners on a stroll down memory lane.
From giving away bull semen to the green promo V8 Ute, ghosts in the halls and a team with an unwavering spirit – yesterday, Power FM staff past and present relived it all.
Craig and Katie kicked the morning off with the first song ever played on the station – New Sensation by INXS.
They chatted to past announcers Damon Adams and Claire Murphy (now podcast host/Senior Producer – Mamamia), Dave Howard (the original GM, who also pulled shifts) and Molly Rose (now Jodie & Haysey’s producer on Nova 919).
Craig continued through the Wall Of Sound, catching up with Leith Forrest (Nights at 5AA) and Tom Lewis (of K rock Geelong’s Tom, Lingy & Loggy Breakfast show).
Joshua Nelson continued into the morning, catching up with Maria Foundas (panel op at Mix 102.3), Hamish Kearvell (Roo, Dits & Loz anchor at Triple M Adelaide) and Kristel Dally.
Adam Connelly took the reins for the afternoon, catching up with former colleague Steve Murphy (announcer at Mix 102.3)
