Profile

Following a childhood interest in electronics, computing and amateur radio, Patrick Sproule began studies in computing science before being distracted by the allure of the broadcast and entertainment industries. Patrick simultaneously became involved in radio presentation at 2AAA FM Community Radio Wagga, and performing as a live entertainer / disc-jockey with Galaxy Entertainment. Soon his involvement moved into maintenance, engineering, systems design and training with both organisations, followed closely by involvement in management of the radio station, and later purchasing and operating the entertainment company under a new name.

In 1990 Patrick joined Prime Television, commencing in on-air operations. For the next ten years he progressed through creative and operational roles including, presentation coordinator, production editor, copywriter, director, producer and production supervisor, whilst also keeping a keen interest in the technical design, maintenance and operations of the facility.
