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. -- ----------------- *Save the HF (Shortwave) Radio Spectrum! Eliminate Broadband over Power Lines!!! **Stephen Newlyn, VK5VKA.
