Some of the pioneers of 2SER, and more importantly, of the Australian media generally, are Tiga Bayles and Maureen Watson. Tiga’s daughter and Maureen’s granddaughter, Yarraka Bayles, talks here about the energy, legacy and fearless leadership of her family’s work in the 1980s and beyond. While sadly these pioneers have now passed on, we are indebted to the time they both gave to 2SER on air, but also to those they trained and inspired to push forward and ask for more. In this piece Yarraka speaks specifically about her father, Tiga, and his career and legacy. The images and stories here are shared with permission by the family.
