NAIDOC WEEK 2-9 JULY
KINGS BIRTHDAY HONOURS for Hot Seat guests
This year’s King’s Birthday honours list, announced in June, saw Order of Australia medals awarded to three local people who have featured in City Park Radio’s interview program, “The Hot Seat”.
Jeff Hockley has been involved in the local arts scene for a long time, was awarded an OAM for his service to community theatre.
Terese Binns from the Launceston Historical Society received an AOM for her service to veterans, and to the community.
The former member for Rosevears in the Legislative Council, Kerry Finch, received his AOM for services to Parliament of Tasmania and to the community. Harking back to Kerry’s early days on ABC local radio, you can hear “Kerry Finch’s Tasmanians” every Thursday around 1.30pm during our Long Lunch program.
Each of these local Tasmanians have given extraordinary service to the community, and City Park Radio congratulates them on receiving their well-deserved awards.
You can hear each of their Hot Seat programs on the “Podcasts” page at our website at www.cityparkradio.com.

MEET ME AT THE MOVIES
The third series of Baby Boomers Guide To Life has come to an end on City Park Radio.
With no indication of a 4th series, City Park Radio has chosen to schedule another excellent community radio program.
Meet Me At The Movies isn’t just about a movie, it’s also about the narrative of the actors, directors and composers with soundtracks, weaving through their stories.
Pictures and music have been a natural combination since sound was first added to moving images in 1927 Whether a film is a tear-jerking drama, an action-packed thriller, a side-splitting comedy or a roaring romance, the right soundtrack at the right moment impacts a scene.
The legendary film critic Roger Ebert described movies as “… a machine that generates empathy.” Some movies can change the way we see the world, like the 2004 movie The Day After Tomorrow, which helped increase climate change awareness”.
Maggie Morgan loves the back stories to movies, actors, producers, composers, painters, authors and more. Digging deep into the research you find such great gems of interest that you may never had heard of before.
Hear those stories on Meet Me At The Movies – Sundays at 11am on City Park Radio.

Donations can be anything from cans to cereals, from soups to pasta. It could even be jelly crystals, UHT milk to go with the cereal and after all a can or jar of fruit would be great too. Anything that is non-perishable !!
