    CONGRATULATIONS Philip Brady. Wonderful for you to get this honour after all the years of working in the Television media. Now we still listen on 3AW to your nightly talkback program.
    60 years is a big achievement and we are proud to have such a distinguished performer of both radio and television – remembering to the Graham Kennedy days.
