IN 2006, Women On The Line celebrated 20 years of quality radio programming
on women’s issues by women.
Deborah Welch, the
founding producer of WOTL in 1986 until 1988, and now Manager of Radio
Adelaide 101.5fm and Board member of the Community
Broadcasting Foundation, says this about Women on the Line's
20th Anniversary:
"It’s always exciting starting something new –
and so it was in 1986 when I started up the first national women’s
community radio program. But it’s even more than gratifying
to see it powering along 20 years down the track. 20 years ago,
and still today, people ask – why do we need a women’s
program? For me the key is that women, in all cultures, experience
life differently from men. And we want to talk about life from our
perspectives, both the positives and the negatives. All of it -
there’s nothing that’s not relevant to us!"
