The ABC Radio National network in Australia has regularly broadcast "The Goon Show" since the 1960s. For many years, the series was broadcast every Saturday afternoon, just after the midday news bulletin. More recently, it was broadcast twice a week, on Friday mornings and Sunday afternoons. The network took the series off the air in January 2004, but following listener response to the cancellation, broadcasts of the show resumed in the Friday time slot in June. The ABC's broadcasts of the series have made "The Goon Show" one of the most repeated and longest-running of all radio programmes.
