The first station in Hobart, 7ZL, was originally owned by the Associated Radio Company, then Tasmanian Broadcaster Pty Ltd from 1928, passing to the Australian Broadcasting Company in 1931. That company was nationalized in 1932 by an Act of Parliament that formed the Australian Broadcasting Commission. So since 1938 7ZR, now 936 ABC Hobart, has informed this city and told the stories of Tasmanian life! It was the year that Tasmania’s Joseph Lyons became Prime Minister. Official website of 936 ABC Hobart is www.abc.net.au/hobart
