On the Air is a 1931 Australian radio musical comedy play. The music, book and lyrics were by Evan Senior. The "musical settings" were by Tim King and Walter Hurst.[1] The play debuted on 5 August 1931 in Adelaide and was set in a radio station.[2]
It was the first locally-written musical to be produced especially for Australian radio. Response was positive.[3]
