Gary O'Callaghan : 1934 - 2017 : 2UE Broadcaster

The earliest memory I have of Gary O’Callaghan is the very early 70’s, my mum would get me ready to go to the baby sitter before school and I clearly remember hearing Gary’s voice and the infamous ‘Sammy Sparrow’ on the Kriesler stereogram. Move forward to August 1989 and having gone through the ‘looking glass’ after a few country stations, I landed a production job at 2UE as a panel operator, of course the ‘rookie’ gets the weekend hours shifts and it was at the 2UE studios in Miller St, North Sydney that I first worked alongside this consummate, professional broadcaster. I remember pulling the carts out of the cart rack in preparation for the show at 5am and at that stage in Miller St Studios we had a separate master/slave studio configuration, I was in Studio B & Gary in Studio C, I was a little unnerved by all this big production set up and working with someone with a high profile I’d only heard about and I have to say, my first couple of shifts were plagued by nervousness and a sense of unease as I stumbled across some cues and time outs, with Gary giving me a ‘what are you doing’ kind of annoyed look, fortunately I got it together in quick time and things improved, Gary’s weekend Sydney program was only a year old by the time I arrived in 1989 and he was into the latter stage of his career. By 1990 we’d moved to the new Pacific Hwy Studios at Greenwich, using the same studio, Studio B together. Gary would usually arrive by 5.15am and say his good mornings to staff and check with the news room, have his tea and his mood was always even handed and cheerful with bouts of whistling as he went about his set up and preparation. In the studio it was fairly relaxed but that wasn’t a cue for being sloppy, you had to be always on the ball and ready for the next event and we were taught to be engaged and responsive with the talent. During the 5.30am news in the studio before we began the show, he’d ask how many commercials there were in each half hour break, ask about the song that was usually played before 6am, maybe one at 6.26am and a time out to the 7am News before the Gardening Show began. Usually with the song he’d want you to start it on cue to a time out, which included delay at 7 seconds, a 15 sec IDP identification promo and to make room for the time pips, this could be cued live or started and then faded up part way through or not used at all. Sometimes he’d play a song in full or half way depending on the situation and Gary was the master of ad-lib and padding out if it had to be extended but he made it look so easy and like a casual thing, no stress about it, conversational, knowledgeable and friendly and has been stated by others, to act like yourself. I worked with Gary from August 1989 on and off until the Mid-nineties on his Sydney Weekend show. I can’t report any negativity with Gary from apart from maybe being annoyed by something, he never let fly off the handle with expletives or an egotistical attitude and what you heard on air was the same off microphone. The legacy of the radio era that Gary O’Callaghan and his generation that ruled and represented the airwaves is all but gone and the memory just lingers but I can say these people were consummate professionals who understood the role of conveying information, selling and telling a story with personality and engaging a mass audience with consistency and credibility which had to be maintained day after day after day with the idea that - that one single person was always in their frame of reference and to deliver what they promised and deliver what was expected without missing a beat. The media landscape has changed so radically now that the almost captive audience that was tuned in with high double digit figures is all but fragmented all over the shop with so much choice but I know one thing, that regardless of how the delivery system and consumption of media has changed, the basic disciplines of audience engagement can still be utilised and still works with the right talent who know how to deliver fresh and relevant information in an entertaining way. Gary’s passing represents a real change of guard of a legacy broadcast era that is now consigned to history, I feel lucky and privileged to have witnessed and experienced these professionals ‘on air’ doing their craft, the like of which we’ll never see again.
