Russell was a great contributor to the roll-out of Digital Radio in Australia. As Chair of DTAC I met with Russell and his ABC Colleagues frequently as we worked to co-ordinate the ABC digital roll-out with the Commercial Radio roll-out. Russell whilst acting in the best interests of the ABC, always worked diligently to help find the middle ground when difficult moments arose during planning discussions between Commercial radio and the ABC. Always the professional and a gentleman, I enjoyed working with him. I also appreciated him very much as a fine person. I will miss you Russell. Des DeCean
