Gary Carvolth - Media

Gary Carvolth 

Gary Carvolth’s career in the media has spanned more than 50 years. After humble beginnings as one of the hosts of Channel 7’s Club Seventeen while still in his early teens, Gary established himself as a prominent figure on WA television during the 1960s when he hosted popular evening variety show “In Perth Tonight” before taking on a production role with the network. Gary is a two-time winner of the Logie for most popular male personality on WA television in 1963 and 1964.

Perhaps one of Gary’s best achievements was his role in establishing the first TVW Channel 7 Telethon in 1968, working alongside Australian TV legends Graham Kennedy, Johnny O’Keefe and Stuart Wagstaff. Gary was also responsible for securing a series of exclusive interviews for Channel 7 with boxing great Muhammad Ali ahead of his world championship fight in Kuala Lumpur in 1975.

Gary then made the switch to radio and became known as the voice of sport through his long-running sports program, Sports Connection, on Radio 6PR. His “Afternoons” program, which he co-hosted with Jenny Seaton, dominated the airwaves during the 1990s and to this day he remains one of the most popular and respected voices on the wireless. Gary is also an accomplished MC and has hosted a number of events, including the welcome home parades for Olympic and Paralympic athletes after the Barcelona 1992 and Atlanta 1996 Games.

However, there is another side to Gary that is not as well known. He is also a first-class and highly successful operator in sales marketing and public relations.

As Business Development Specialist with corporate finance and advisory firm MVP Capital, Gary brings both his vast experience and a deep network of relationships to the company and its services.
