Just after midnight on 17 April 1967, 2UE announcer Ormsby Wilkins created Australian radio history, reportedly being the first to receive callers live to air.
Until then, talkback radio had been illegal in Australia, as broadcasting telephone conversations was prohibited since 1905.
Today talkback radio remains a key component for the success of many broadcast networks, with the mixture of views about news, sport, politics and other issues an immediate conveyor of its audience’s opinions.
