Don't Touch That Dial chronicles Australian radio from the days when teenagers were first seduced by the new sounds of Top 40 pop and DJs in the late 1950s.

It takes you on a journey where radio went from strength to strength on AM, then FM, introducing music, news, personalities, commentators and colourful characters several of whom became household names.

In Don't Touch That Dial Wayne Mac takes account of an entertainment phenomenon which has touched the lives of generations of Australians.

A celebration of radio and its people in words and pictures.

The book format is a weighty A4 with hard cover, 400 pages.
