That's why Australia's best amateur talent asks for your applause tonight and every Thursday night at 8 on our new station 3AW Sincerely, 820 weeks ago on the 17th November, 1940 the first broadcast of Australia's Amateur Hour the original amateur hour took place. Harry Dearth was the first producer director. He was followed by Dick Fair. Then I took over from Dick in August, 1950, when he left our unit to join another network. During the 820 continuous week by week broadcasts which we have made since 1940 we have been the only radio program of any sort to travel continuously the length and breadth of Australia even to Alice Springs and Darwin.

Just read through the list of our travels in panel on the right. We have had and are always likely to have, other programs trying to copy the success of our original Australia's Amateur Hour. Only Australia's Amateur Hour has its own big unit of talent scouts and production executives. I follow our talent scouts all over Australia and broadcast from the farthest outback. That's why we bring you such wonderful variety in our acts.

That's why so many of our discoveries are now world-famous stars. Best 3 hours entertainment in Radio 8mT0.IIGHT! 7 P.M. 7.30 P.M. 9 TO 10 P.M. SMOKY THE GENERAL "El MOTORS vimuu DAWSON PIPER H0UR.
