About this product
Product Information
Norman McCance was one of the stars of early radio in Melbourne. He became immensely popular during the second half of the 1920s for his broadcasts of wrestling matches on radio station 3LO, now known as 774 ABC. But his work over 60 years encompassed far more than wrestling. He was the Argus newspaper's State Political reporter for many years and for both the Argus and the ABC made radio broadcasts of major events such as the first international flight to Melbourne in 1926. For a decade in the 1930s he wrote and broadcast one of the very first morning news programs. In his later years he became better known as a naturalist, his lifelong passion for animals becoming his profession. He wrote a nature column for the Weekly Times for over 24 years, right up until the age of 81. Janet Werkmeister has done us a service in reminding us of the achievements of her grandfather, a distinguished journalist and broadcaster who played an important role in drawing attention to what we would now call environmental or conservation issues. - The Hon Barry Jones AO Early Melbourne radio star Norman McCance has been described as a mixture of Eddie McGuire and David Attenborough. The real Eddie was intrigued by the comparison and interviewed author Janet Werkmeister recently for his Triple M Hot Breakfast program, together with his co-host Luke Darcy. They both gave the book a great review. Eddie McGuire: Norman McCance was one of the great sports broadcasters on 3LO and other stations, and also broadcast some of the biggest events that ever happened in Melbourne. Luke Darcy: This book is something you would love to get hold of. The pictures alone are brilliant, and what a great story of one of the legends of Melbourne.
