Ian Wright's collection at Soundcloud

This is a collection of assorted audio clips posted by radio man Ian Wright. His own career began at 2KM Kempsey in the early 70s,  and has covered announcing, sales and management at many stations including 3LK Horsham, 2AD Armidale (very briefly), 5KA and 5AA Adelaide, and 2BE Bega.

Ian is now with 5MU Murray Bridge out of Victor Harbor on the Fleurieu Peninsula of South Australia, handling sales as well as on-air and voiceover work. He has also been heard on community station 5EFM in Victor Harbor. A 2013 profile by Keith McGowan at RadioInfo gives a nice snapshot of Ian's work at 5MU.

A highlight in Ian's collection is Alan McGirvan making one of his in-character prank calls, this time as Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac. These calls were a feature of his morning show on 4IP in Ipswich, not far from Brisbane where much of its audience was found. Before 4IP, McGirvan had been a foundation announcer on 2JJ in Sydney, the AM station that went FM as part of the ABC's national Triple J network.
