Vale ​Steve O’Shea

Long-time 2VM GM Steve O’Shea has passed away in Newcastle.

Born on the 7th of February 1929, Steve attended the Marconi School of Wireless getting his technician’s certificate in September 1952.

He had short stints at a number of stations including 2WG, 3HA, 3NE, and 2GF.

He worked just about every job in radio from technician to salesman to on-air announcer and, finally, General Manager.

He spent 8 years at 2NM until 1969, when he moved to Moree to be GM of 2VM.

He was manager there until 1997 when he retired to Newcastle.

Funeral arrangements are yet to be finalised as tributes begin to flow from radio collegues. 

Radio runs in Steve O’Shea’s family.

This information was sent to us by Steve’s grandson Stephen McPherson, who is currently News Editor at 2VM/NOW FM Moree. Condolences to Stephen and his family.

RIP Steve O’Shea.
