Default Vale Keith Glover of Radio Australia

Info via Harold at aus.radio.broadcast

Veteran ABC Broadcaster Keith Glover passed away, Friday Feb 3.

In his long career with the ABC, Keith distinguished himself as a
broadcaster, and particularly as a Radio Australia presenter.

His career began with ABC in Queensland in 1947. Upon moving to Melbourne
Keith worked with Radio Australia for many years, broadcasting from
studios in the old 'cottage' at the rear of Broadcast House, the 'biscuit
factory' in Lonsdale Street, and finally from the new RA complex at East
Burwood.

He was a consummate communicator and as presenter of Radio Australia's
'Listeners' Mailbag' became an 'interactive' broadcaster well before the
term was popularised. He received a number of awards for international
broadcasting.

Keith's voice was also well known on 'home service' radio, presenting a wide
range of programs including news bulletins, sporting panels, Anzac
Day marches, and Royal Tours. Keith was seen regularly on ABV Channel 2
and presented a ballroom dancing program for a number of years.

In the latter stages of his career Keith moved into management, working as
Supervisor of RA's English Language programming and finally as Supervisor
of Radio Presentation in Victoria.

Keith retired from the ABC in 1985.
