Australian Broadcasting Corporation
The ABC has grown remarkably since July 1, 1932. ABC radio first went to air at 8 pm on 1 July 1932, introduced by Prime Minister Joseph Lyons. Each State capitol had its own station, and there were relay stations in Newcastle and Corowa in New South Wales, Rockhampton in QUeensland, and Crystal Brook in South Australia. The foundations ofABC radio's programming style were laid in those early years - with music dominant, and sport, news, children's and talks programming throughout the schedule.
