Nic Nolan has had a long and varied career in electronic media. Since 2004 he’s been Programme Director of Adelaide’s most popular News/Talk radio station FIVEaa. Before that, for 16 years, Nic anchored breakfast news on Perth’s number one rating radio station, MIX 94.5 a station listened to each week by more than half a million people. Nic started his media career at LBC, a Newstalk radio station in London, while still at high school. He went on to gain an honours degree in Communications before moving to New Zealand. Nic spent seven years with the Broadcasting Corporation of New Zealand, working extensively in radio as a presenter of music and entertainment programmes, news and current affairs with a heavy emphasis on radio commercial and promotions production. During this period, Nic was also involved in the genesis of New Zealand’s Newstalk-ZB radio network, was a freelance television continuity announcer with New Zealand’s TV ONE, hosted a number of television specials and was appointed to the New Zealand Film Censorship Board of Review. A six-month assignment followed, as Australia’s Hoyts Radio Network London News Correspondent. A holiday stopover in Western Australia, saw Nic hired to read morning news on Perth’s Channel 7 for two years, at the same time starting his breakfast news-anchoring role at 6KY (now MIX 94.5). Nic also read news for Perth’s Channel 9. Nic, born 1 May 1958, loves current affairs, politics, music, movies, and has a passion for media.

I think you might want to list the two related WikiProjects Wikipedia:WikiProject Radio and Wikipedia:WikiProject Radio stations, somewhere on the portal. Badbilltucker 16:28, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Message from a Davidpk212 who is trying not to try like an overproud newbie

Thanks for working on my* portal guys. The Radio Project is a great idea, and I'm happy for the way this portal is going. The only thing I have to complain is that we're putting rather too much an emphsasis on American radio.... although before the emphasis was on british radio, I attempted to strike a balance when I created the portal.

*For brevity, when I say "my" I mean "our," simply 'cause I created the portal. I do not own it. We all own it together, as one big WikiFamily.

It's probably best if content is planned here then in order to have it be more balanced. By the way, in the next week or two, I'm going to look into creating archives of the different fields and of expanding content. Unfortunately, I've just been concentrating on other things at the moment. --PhantomS 19:21, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FYI Rothammel is an AfD

My sense is it should not be, but requires, perhaps, someone from this portal to flush out what is happening. I'll help as I can throughout the AfD. Kind Regards, Keesiewonder 11:25, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Selected boxes

All of the boxes marked as selected will now randomly rotate between entries. In addition, archives for these boxes are available. --PhantomS 01:37, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Incidentally, I added the category and list boxes, which will need to be filled. I also removed the news box, until a ready source of radio news can be found. --PhantomS 01:41, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Category: Help!

Greetings all: My primary interest is in learning foreign langauges, and having access to web-casting radio stations in other languages is invaluable. I want to create a new family of categories: Webcasting radio stations by language. Basically, I would like to compile lists of all stations broadcasting on the web in Dutch, in German, in English, whatever. I am pushing the full discussion on Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Radio_Stations#New_Category:_Help.21 If you're intersted in discussing the idea before I create the category, or help in categorising, come on over! Thanks much! samwaltz 15:47, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
