Back on February 8th, 2012, in Australia, the 100th anniversary of government owned and operated wireless communications stations was celebrated. Wavescan has the report on this big anniversary.
Here is a quote from the Wavescan article:
"As we note, the famed Marconi had been very active in the experimental development of wireless as a tool for distant communication, beginning in 1894. Ten years later, the Marconi company in Australia established two temporary wireless stations, one in coastal Victoria and the other on the northern edge of Tasmania, as a public demonstration of the usefulness of wireless communication between the Australian mainland and islandic Tasmania.
During the years 1910 and 1911, four temporary interim wireless stations were established in Australia, and these were on the air as ATY and AAA in Sydney, AAM in Melbourne, and VZE on the small King Island close to Tasmania."
Adventist World Radio has celebrated their 40th anniversary. Shortwave Central has that story.

On November 16th, 2011, the Wheatstone blog reported that the Voice of Russia had turned 82.

Originally known as Radio Moscow, its first broadcasts came in 1922, as transmitting station RV-1 in the Moscow region"
