Kerry “Pecky” Peck, a long-standing Bathurst radio personality, has been inducted into the Bathurst Business Hall of Fame in recognition of his extensive contribution to the local community and regional broadcasting.

The recognition was reported on 17 September 2026 by Radioinfo. Peck has been a familiar voice across the Bathurst region for decades through his work with radio station 2BS and his long-running breakfast program, “Brekky with Pecky”. His broadcasting career has spanned approximately 58 years of continuous service to the station.

Peck turned 80 in March 2026, but has continued to be associated with the Bathurst radio community. His long career has made him a recognisable local figure, particularly among listeners who have followed 2BS and its breakfast programming over many years.

As part of the recognition of his contribution, the 2BS studio was named in his honour. The move reflects his long association with the station and the role his broadcasting career has played in the local media landscape.

The Bathurst Business Hall of Fame recognition adds another honour to Peck’s long list of achievements. His career represents several decades of regional broadcasting, during which local radio has remained an important source of information, entertainment and community connection for residents outside Australia's major metropolitan centres.

Regional radio personalities often develop particularly strong relationships with their audiences because of the close connection between local stations and the communities they serve. Over the course of his career, Peck has been associated with local stories, community events and the everyday issues affecting people across Bathurst and surrounding areas.

The recognition also comes at a time when regional media continues to operate in a changing communications environment, with audiences increasingly accessing news and entertainment through digital platforms alongside traditional radio.

Peck’s induction provides an opportunity to acknowledge the contribution of a broadcaster who has spent much of his working life connected with one regional station and its audience. Radioinfo described his continuous service to 2BS as spanning 58 years.

The honour is specifically connected to Peck’s contribution to Bathurst’s business and community life through broadcasting. It is not simply a recognition of a single recent achievement, but follows decades of involvement with the local radio industry.

The 17 September report noted that further accolades have continued to come Peck’s way following his 80th birthday earlier this year. His induction into the Bathurst Business Hall of Fame is the latest recognition of a career that has become closely associated with Bathurst radio.

For local residents familiar with 2BS and “Brekky with Pecky”, the recognition marks another chapter in the career of one of the region’s longest-serving broadcasters.
