The fact it was playing to a very small audience at 4.47am on a non-music station doesn't surprise me. I'd be interested to hear what the radio host said about the shipwreck, the song and the songwriter-performer. The only time I heard TWOTEF on Australian radio was in 1986 at Lakes Entrance, on the coast a few hours east of Melbourne. And apart from "Sundown" (a big hit across Australia) and IYCRMM (still a regular on easy-listening stations), the only other Lightfoot songs I've heard on radio here were "Anything For Love" (once) and "Stay Loose" (played by a discerning music show host after I requested it).
