David Kippen

CONSUMER NEWS, Thursdays 11:30am-Noon &

SUNDAYS THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES
9am - noon.

David’s interest in radio started back in the 60s when a new 3UL announcer joined the Methodist Youth Group in Warragul and gave the group a station tour one evening.
David had a few lessons with Denis Gibbons who was just starting his Radio School in Melbourne. The main activity he remembers is reading ads for “Honey Cured Revelation” cigarettes. However traveling to Melbourne each week, and then a 12 month working holiday in England, meant he did not keep up the training.
Family, work and church commitments, not to mention building a house with his wife Sandra, put radio on the back burner until KLFM (then Bendigo Education Radio) made their first test broadcast in April 1990.
The studio for this broadcast was a room at the Havilah Road site of the Eaglehawk & Long Gully Community Health Centre. David, who was the Health Centre’s Consumer and Tenancy Adviser, began presenting Consumer News and the program has continued since, winning a Consumer Affairs award along the way.
David says that listener feedback saying how Consumer News has helped them is very rewarding. He also enjoys interacting with listeners on “Live & Local” programs such as Thanks For The Memory on Sunday mornings

Tony Fittock

ROCK IT UP
Thursday Noon-2pm, Friday Noon-2pm

Tony Fittock (Tone the Drone to his handful of listeners) with his mum and brother came to Bendigo in 1980. Tony worked as a marketing manager of the Bendigo Advertiser and spent the next thirteen frustrating years trying to pull that organisation out of the flat earth society without success. Prior to that Tony worked at a number of newspapers, including John Fairfax.
Tony’s Radio career started at 3MA Mildura on the lovely Murray river in 1967, the day of that disastrous train crash in September at Violet Town. After three years in those sunny climes he and Pam moved to Melbourne to expand his career in media.
After several years in Melbourne, Tony and Daryl McClure came up with the idea of a newspaper for real-estate agents which became an enormous success known as Bendigo Weekly.
Tony started at Radio KLFM in 1998 and amazed himself, and the management of the station and long-suffering listeners by still presenting his program on Thursdays and Rock it up Friday.
When asked what he loved about KLFM and radio, he replied “Drugs, Sex, and Rock N Roll” but mainly Rock N Roll.
Pam and Tony raised their family in Bendigo, they just love the place and the people. Bendigo, like KLFM, has so much to offer.

Bill Murray

AFTERNOONS
2pm-4pm, Monday to Thursday, 2pm-6pm Friday

After 38 years in PMG/Telstra, mostly with their satellite service (Iterra), and some years as an Electorate Officer, Bill’s use-by date expired. Apart from 2QN Deniliquin's DJ for a Day competition in 1971, Bill hadn’t thought much about radio, but with his interest in community service, KLFM offered an opportunity. Bill's background, as a technician and as an electorate officer, has come in handy around the place. He is enjoying presenting and hopes his music brightens everyone’s day. Bill is in the chair Monday to Thursday afternoon from 2pm to 4pm and from 2pm to 6pm each Friday. After 4pm, Bill's Friday show includes the Goset Top 10 from 1970.

David Chislett

KOMMOTION CLUB,
Saturday 10pm-midnight

David’s first interest in radio was in 1962, when he got his first transistor for his 11^th birthday.
Big hits of the time were Teeny by Johnny Chester, Devil in Disguise by Elvis, Telstar by the Tornadoes, among many others.
David listened to 3UZ in Melbourne with DJ’s like Lap Lap (Alan Lappin), Don Lunn and Stan the Man, (Stan Rofe).
Some years later David got together with two friends and presented a show called “The Vault”,  a 1960’s program, on 3CR. Then in 1975, playing 45’s featuring mainly Aussie releases with some overseas artists. These were also Saturday nights, with alternating presenters.
When David retired and moved to Bendigo, he heard about KLFM, where he now presents a similar program called Kommotion Club, 10pm on Saturday nights.

Graeme Turpie

News reader & JUKEBOX
Tuesday & Wednesday, Noon-2pm

Bendigo-born Graeme Turpie began his media career as a panel operator on radio 3BO in 1956 for such announcers as Russ Pilley and Ken Jalland, and was also a transcription-clerk (logging in all the large recorded radio serials/shows etc to be played at certain times, then either destroyed or sent on to other stations for future playing).

Within two years he swapped to the newsroom and trained as a journalist, making that his main career.  Over more than 50 years gathering, writing and presenting the news, he has worked in radio (2AY, ABC, Radio Australia, Macquarie newswire-3AW, 3DB, 3BO, Star-FM, 3CV) newspapers (Bendigo Advertiser, Herald and Weekly times, independent publications) and television (HSV-7) but his favourite medium is radio.   So after some “full-time retirement” (traveling, looking after grand kids, walking the dogs etc ) he was lured back to radio on KLFM with the promise of unlimited cups of tea and coffee, the occasional sausage roll, access to the station’s great record library for the Tuesday and Wednesday midday jukeboxes, and have the station cat Bonnie’s help in sub-editing local news bulletins. 

Grant McMaster

THE GRANT McMASTER SHOW,
Saturday 3pm-4pm

Although still a young man, Grant McMaster has spent many years working in radio, television and the print media and plans to keep on doing it until he gets it right because he is hoping shortly to become an overnight sensation.

He is currently presenting his KLFM program at 3pm on Saturday afternoon.

Even though he has had many requests, he is going to continue to do the program anyway.

Thank you very much.

Lisa Claxton

A DROP OF IRISH,
Mondays 7pm-9pm

When KLFM was granted their full time licence, so began "A Drop of Irish", and it’s been going ever since with lots of very loyal listeners who regularly phone in with their Irish requests!  We enjoy some wonderful traditional Irish music, some fun facts about Irish people and their contributions to our world, and the occasional interview with Irish artists coming our way.  

Hosting "A Drop of Irish" is something completely different from other things I do; Kindergarten teaching, singing on the worship team at church, among other commitments, but it’s something I really enjoy doing on a Monday night from 7pm to  9pm - thanks for your company! 

Zac Schobben

ZAC’S TRACKS,
Tuesday 11pm-2am

“Zac’s Tracks” is a personal spin on all types of rock music collected and snippets of music trivia from that exciting era, particularly Australian pub rock and pop. As the studio is based at the old Golden Square railway station, the show’s title came to mind. Life’s a lot about having fun and I really enjoy preparing for and doing the show in the KLFM studio.
