Grace Gibson
Edit ProfileCareer
She was working in radio in America, as a distributor of Radio programs, when recruited by Alfred Bennett, general manager of Sydney radio station 2GB who was visiting the United States of America. Together they set up American Radio Transcription Agencies (later Artransa Pty Limited), which sold American recorded radio programs throughout Australia, and Gibson moved to Sydney, Australia in 1934. Gibson was on a buying trip in the United States in 1941 when Pearl Harbor was attacked and as a result she was prevented from returning to Australia for several years. She later set up her own company, Grace Gibson Radio Productions Pty Limited, which became one of the biggest producers of Australian radio drama.
