New Radio Heritage Documentaries The Radio Heritage Foundation (www.radioheritage.net) has released two new radio heritage documentaries through Radio NZ International.
The first of these is currently available as a podcast at www.rnzi.com (Other Audio/Mailbox) and is a rare recording of the 1963 Top 20 radio show from 2ZC Hawkes Bay in New Zealand. The documentary comes complete with music, station IDs for 2ZC, local adverts and typical sound effects of the period. The documentary is linked with the article 'From Hawkes Bay to Replay' at the Radio Heritage Foundation website www.radioheritage.net which contains photos of the DJ and the panel operator and a personal story behind the scenes of the 2ZC Top 20 show. On Monday, October 1 2007, RNZI broadcasts a second documentary featuring the history of Pacific radio during the 1941-1950 period. This covers the broadcasting scene around the region during WWII, the occupation of Japan, and the reconstruction period for SE Asia, the Philippines and other locations. The documentary includes classic Pacific music melodies of the period, and also covers new stations in Samoa, Fiji and other colonies of the time, as well as reviewing broadcasting from Australia and NZ during wartime censorship. After broadcast during the Mailbox program on RNZI, this documentary is also available via podcast at www.rnzi.com. The Radio Heritage Foundation is a non-profit charitable trust. Hundreds of pages of articles about Pacific radio and searchable Pacific radio databases are available for free at www.radioheritage.net. Coming soon at www.radioheritage.net - Shanghai Radio in 1941. ---[Start Commercial]--------------------- Preorder your WRTH 2007: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2007 ---[End Commercial]----------------------- ________________________________________ Hard-Core-DX mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
