Here is the latest news and updates from Victoria.

On 23 November, ABC Friends Victoria will join with the Eureka Centre Ballarat to discuss the future of radio on the 100th anniversary of the first radio broadcast in Australia on 23 November 1923. 

Acknowledging that radio has a track record of reinventing itself, the event will discuss decreasing listener numbers and growing online competition and ask what might the future sound like? 

ABC presenter, Jonathan Green, will moderate the discussion which will feature Pilar Aguilera, Chairperson, 3CR Community Radio, Prue Bentley, Editor, ABC Ballarat and Southwest Victoria and Professor Jock Given, Department of Media and Communication, Swinburne University of Technology. Tickets are free but please register here.
