Historic Broadcast
Founding father of Saturday Night Jukebox, CSU Lecturer, and station Life Member Bob Dengate spent weeks chasing up all the songs from the original 2UE Top 40 chart. He found them all and recreated the chart countdown in a Saturday Night Jukebox special half a century after the original broadcast. The special was broadcast on 2MCE Saturday March 1st 2008. Here's the original countdown.
