RNZI Airs New Radio Heritage Documentary Radio Serials Connect ANZAC Listeners ____________________ Join us from Monday, March 5 2012 to share long time favorite radio serials for Australian and New Zealand listeners on the Mailbox program from Radio New Zealand International. In the 1930's, radio serials were produced by the thousands in Australia, and many of these transcriptions found their way across the Tasman and onto the New Zealand airwaves of the ZB commercial stations which celebrate their 75th anniversaries this year. You can listen directly via shortwave radio from RNZI in New Zealand, or audio on demand [for the following month] with full details of current broadcast frequencies [both DRM and analog] and times possible for your area as well as audio downloads at www.rnzi.com. The stars of Fred & Maggie [The Everybody's] were mobbed when they visited New Zealand in 1939, and New Zealander Jack Davey was shortly to become production head of the powerful Colgate-Palmolive Unit and one of the most popular quiz masters and radio entertainers in Australia. The New Zealand 'Radio Record' magazine published weekly program schedules for the radio serials heard from 2CH and 2GB in Sydney so that Kiwi listeners could stay up to date with the soap operas every evening as the Australian radio signals covered the Tasman. You'll hear the theme music to such great shows as 'The Air Adventures of Biggles', 'Dr Mac', 'The Grey Shadow', 'When Cobb & Co Was King' and 'Dad & Dave' from Snake Gully. So join us from Monday, March 5 2012 as we enjoy some early Australian radio serials with a shared ANZAC history on the Mailbox program from Radio New Zealand International [www.rnzi.com].
