Laugh RadioLaugh Radio was a test community radio station in Melbourne, Australia. It broadcast ten test broadcasts during the 90s, all but the last of which was broadcast on 89.9FM. The format of the station was unique in that it broadcast comedy programming 24 hours a day. Similar stations exist today, but these are only broadcast through the internet. BBC7 broadcasts comedy along with other spoken word programming. Laugh Radio's format was very similar to the in-flight comedy channels offered by several airlines - indeed, today the Qantas in-flight comedy channel is programmed by Laugh Radio's former managing director, Peter Tatchell. While Laugh Radio's test broadcasts were successful and garnered the support of many Australian comedy celebrities such as John Clarke and Elliot Goblet, the station did not succeed in its bid in 2000 to win a permanent community broadcasting licence from the Australian Broadcasting Authority.
