New Radio Heritage Documentary now at RNZI Baby Boomer Radio - the Radio Revolution! ------------------------------------------ >From the Radio Heritage Foundation [www.radioheritage.net], the latest in our series of radio heritage documentaries now available at RNZI [www.rnzi.com]. In 1966, 'pirate' Radio Hauraki began a radio revolution in New Zealand. It resulted in the overturning of the state broadcasting monopoly. Founder David Gapes said later 'The message from the people to the State was clear. GET WITH IT, OR GET OUT.' You'll hear the first broadcast from '1480 Top of the Dial', original ID jingles, commercials and some of the top Kiwi pop music of the era. You'll also hear how state radio changed to meet the Radio Hauraki challenge, more jingles and more great Kiwi music. It's not just about 'free radio' or 'pirate' broadcasting. This was a full out assault on state control by the young baby boomers of the 1960's. The documentary places the radio revolution in social and historic context, and celebrates their ultimate success. Again, quoting founder David Gapes, 'The government finally chose to get with it, and our lives are the better for it'.
