Kaye Blackman - empowerment through community radio
Former station manager Kaye Blackman took hold of 2SER in the 1980s and 90s, serving 14 years in the role and as its first female leader. During that time she inspired many with her energy and passion, as well as pioneering new spaces for groups who may have otherwise been overlooked. One of these achievements was the establishment of ‘New Horizons’, a show which featured older people in all aspects of radio making. It inspired many others who may have otherwise been overlooked to get in and just have a go. Featured in the accompanying image for this piece are volunteers Doug Denham and Bette Duncan.
