Thank you to Michelle O’Connor for steerage of the station over the past 12 months. She has been brilliant and she has left big shoes to fill.
In addition, enormous thanks to Rhonda and Adam at the station for helping me settle in. Of course, 2MCE couldn’t operate without the dedication and passion of our volunteers, and I thank them all for their warm welcome.

Mountain high
TUESDAY of this week was International Day of the Mountain. As 2MCE broadcasts within the shadow of Wahluu/Mount Panorama, a number of our presenters have been playing songs about mountains.
From the 1990 Midnight Oil classic King Of The Mountain and back to 1972’s Rocky Mountain High by John Denver, a quick search shows up to 40 modern day songs about mountains. I hope our listeners heard at least one of them.
Festive talk
CHRISTMAS traditions are the topic of this week’s conversations on the Cool Climate Living program with Diane Barnes, Susan Lacey and Monica Morse. Catch the program on Friday at 11am.
Jukebox milestone
LONG-TIME listeners to 2MCE will know the history of Saturday Night Jukebox, which started way back in January 1992 and is still going strong.
This year the Jukebox team have cracked 3000 requests for the first time ever. Congratulations to all involved for a superb job. The original Saturday Night Jukeboxer, Bob Dengate, would have been proud.
Thank you to all our listeners and requesters for getting the program to this fantastic milestone.
If you’d like to request a song for Saturday Night Jukebox, please call 6331 0092 during the show from 6pm through to 10pm on Saturday. You’ll be part of a record-breaking year for Saturday Night Jukebox.
