Radio Waves - First Episode

Well there you are Auckland — another morning of pure vocal gold piped into every home.

– DJ Win Savage (Grant Bridger), shortly after saying the wrong thing on air

You know I must be crazy: I’m going to spend this beautiful, multi-coloured, fantastic afternoon in that booth...like a lost soul in a fishbowl.

– DJ Paul Headley (Andy Anderson)

Look I chase ratings too, but I’m not going to turn my station into some simpering jukebox just to pull in money!

– Jack (Alan Dale) argues radio formats with Radio Waves sales manager Terry Wyman (Derek Payne)

If the stories are as good as the rest of her she'll be fine.

– DJ Win Savage (Grant Bridger) attempts to compliment the station's new journalist, Jess Davern (Jacqui Dunn)

Paul, I have no intention of fulfilling one of your needs . . . I have to finish this work.

– Programme manager Cynthie Townsend (Lisa Smith), shortly before she accepts Paul's invitation for a drink

You know I reckon it does real psychic damage up there, talking without feeling.

– DJ Paul Headley (Andy Anderson) complains about "barking into a microphone" for a living

Come through. We'll have a chat about the job. I wasn't expecting someone so young and...well, you know.

– Jack (Alan Dale) meets prospective journalist Jess Davern (Jacqui Dunn)

I'll skin you alive.

– Sales manager Terry Wyman (Derek Payne) after hearing DJ Win Savage (Grant Bridger) going off-script

Actually it wasn’t Neighbours, but a TV series in New Zealand called Radio Waves, which wouldn’t mean a thing to anyone over here. It was nine months of solid work and great fun. When that ended I went to Australia because there was nothing happening in New Zealand — no theatre, no movies, no real television to speak of — and that led to the next big break, when I got into The Young Doctors...

– Alan Dale on making his screen debut on Radio Waves, What's On Stage, 10 March 2008

...when I come back I'll apologise — in a hundred different positions.

– DJ Win Savage (Grant Bridger) apologises for going off-script
