Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.com Christchurch Earthquake New Zealand Radio Broadcasting Status _ A major 6.3 earthquake struck Christchurch on the South Island of New Zealand on February 22 2011 with nearly 400 killed or missing and most of the CBD of this city of 350,000 ruined. A complete list of AM and FM radio services in Christchurch with updates on their current status is now available. Many studios are located in the CBD, are damaged and no longer accessible and several locally based stations [such as Plains FM] are no longer broadcasting.

Other local LPFM stations such as Power Hits 87.7 FM have been broadcasting emergency accommodation messages for the St Albans/Mairehau community and offers to help stations have come from other local stations as far away as Wellington and Queenstown. Volcano Radio 88.5 FM in Lyttelton returned to the air shortly after the quake and has been broadcasting community messages and information since. The detailed list is available for download from www.radioheritage.com and is located at the homepage under the header 'Christchurch Earthquake 2011'.

Live and local broadcasts to the worst hit suburbs start on March 14. Donations of funds to cover operational costs are urgently needed at www.radioheritage.com. Power Hits Radio 87.8 in St Albans and Akaroa FM [both Christchurch City] have been carrying earthquake coverage from the emergency nationwide local network anchored by Classic Gold Radio Winton, near Invercargill, in association with The Flea in Auckland and Splash FM on Waiheke Island. The full network taking this feed is Classic Gold Radio [Winton], Classic Gold Radio [Invercargill], Radio Cromwell, Radio Mosgiel [Dunedin], Radio Twizel, Power Hits Radio [Christchurch], Akaroa FM [Christchurch], Hutt FM 106.1 [Wellington], Rag FM [Raglan], The Flea 88.2 Devonport/107 Takapuna [Auckland] and six hours daily streaming via the Mader Radio Network [USA]. Compass FM 104.9 FM in Rangiora has now started broadcasting on full power with a strong signal into the city carrying North Canterbury earthquake relief information, messages and music. Their signal reaches from Hanmer Springs in the north to Ashburton in the south. Radio New Zealand Sound Archives are located in the off-limits Radio NZ studio building and operations are currently suspended. The audio and other heritage collections housed there are understood to have survived with relatively minor damage. A full listing of Christchurch area AM and FM stations is online at www.radioheritage.com and is regularly being updated. It's at the home page under the header 'Christchurch Earthquake 2011'. Please support fund raising for the Helping Rebuild Christchurch project, part of the Kiwi Radio Campaign, with donations by Paypal welcome at www.radioheritage.com. Background - Since the earthquake on February 22, the death toll is expected to be over 200, most of the CBD may be demolished because even modern high rise buildings are now on unstable ground, and some 10,000 homes may be demolished and whole suburbs replaced with parkland, forests and wetland. About 20-25% of the city population has self-evacuated. It is estimated the rebuilding will take 10-15 years. __ Radio Heritage Foundation is a non-profit organization connecting popular culture, nostalgia and radio heritage at www.radioheritage.com.

[HCDX] Radio, Earthquakes & Sponsors
From: Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.net Earthquakes and Radio 22 Sponsors Needed! _ During the past month cities in both New Zealand and Japan in our region have been shattered by terrible earthquakes..and we've been reminded again how vital radio is to help survivors at these times. Here at the Radio Heritage Foundation, we made a decision to put our normal operations on hold and closely monitor radio services in Christchurch, New Zealand after their killer quake on February 22. Within a short time we concluded that existing services couldn't provide local news and welfare programs because they couldn't get to their studios [and still can't a month later] or they had been destroyed. Our response was to organize the only available mobile radio studio in the island to relocate to New Brighton in the hardest hit eastern suburbs, and within 10 days of the idea, Radio New Brighton 102.1 FM was broadcasting live and local 24/7 to some shattered communities. I'm delighted our board members from Australia, USA and the Netherlands responded so fast to support this decision. I've just returned from a hectic 9 days there with Chris Diack from Classic Gold who shared our vision to bring a local radio station to these people and has pulled together a team of volunteers with Aaron Gardiner to bring hope back to people living in a city with a clouded future after some 20% of the population self-evacuated. It's a long way from researching, writing and publishing stories about other radio stations and people, the daily activities we do to preserve our heritage for future generations. But this time we've become part of the story ourselves, and we've been honored to do so. How long the station can continue we don't know. But with local community and business support, the city may have a new local voice as rebuilding lives, families and businesses slowly moves forward. In the meantime, our overheads have continued to grow, and we are now about 45 days behind in meeting these expenses. If you're able to help us get back on track before March 31, will you do so today? We need 22 people able to donate US$100 to bring us right up to date, or US$50 will cover one of those 45 days we're behind... Please use the donation button today at www.radioheritage.net and help secure our continued daily operations. There's a great connection between radio heritage and Radio New Brighton...in 1937 the original 3ZB was set up in the area and broadcast reassurance and welfare messages during the dark days of WWII...and in 2011, Radio New Brighton continues this tradition during these dark days post the killer earthquake of February 22. Radio has always served and will continue to do so, and your donation of US$100 or US$50 today will help us record these moments for future generations to understand. New Zealand residents who make a donation before March 31 are eligible for one-third tax refunds on donations - NZ$150 will be refunded NZ$50 for example. Thank you David Ricquish Chairman Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.net [Email info@radioheritage with 'Quakeaway' in the subject line to be removed from this mailing list] PS.. we have 3 copies left of Keith Richardson's sold out book 'Never A Dull Moment' including a fabulous CD of music, jingles and interviews from the early 1960's and the first 3 donations of US$150 or more will get the book and CD shipped worldwide for free as a thank you. Keith passed away a month ago and these are the final 3 copies of his book anywhere. ---[Start Commercial]- Order your WRTH 2011: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2011 ---[End Commercial]--- Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ ___ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.

[HCDX] Radio New Brighton Helps Rebuilding
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.net April 13 2011 Community Radio helps rebuild New Brighton Christchurch [NZ] after February Earthquake _ Just over a month ago, the Wellington [NZ] based Radio Heritage Foundation had the idea of bringing a mobile radio station to support the eastern suburbs of Christchurch. In less than ten days, a licence was granted and Southland broadcaster Chris Diack had moved a mobile radio studio into the main street of the seaside suburb of New Brighton and Radio New Brighton was on the air on 102.1 FM. In the weeks since, Radio New Brighton has become an integral part of the eastern suburbs recovery and rebuilding process, with locals calling in to the studio to chat about lost pets, hot shower facilities, stores reopening, public meetings, children's events and much more. School children from the Central New Brighton School where the mobile studio is parked perform live singing, poetry and jokes on the air and send dedications to their teachers. Locals with no previous radio experience find themselves on the air hosting their own shows in minutes. Radio Heritage Foundation chairman David Ricquish says "this is just the kind of local community radio we had in mind when we saw the need emerging for more local news, information and reassurance in eastern Christchurch in the weeks immediately after the February 22 earthquake." "Our international board members have decades of experience with emergency radio broadcasting in Africa, Asia and the Pacific and were able to give us some good pointers on how to make this work such as getting local people involved as soon as possible" he adds. He says the support of existing local low power FM radio stations in setting up the station was crucial to its early success, along with amateur radio operators and students from the NZ Broadcasting School whose facilities were in the cordoned off CBD. Telecom provided free broadband and other links very quickly, and the local school agreed to the mobile studio being on their premises within sixty seconds. The Radio Heritage Foundation, holder of the radio licence for 102.1 FM, now wants to see a permanent community radio station, run by locals, established in New Brighton once the current emergency broadcasts end. "The mobile caravan can't stay there forever so locals now have a great opportunity to create their own community radio station to support the arts, culture, business and the great seaside lifestyle of this community" says Mr Ricquish, whose family have lived in the area since 1950. "We'll be delighted to help establish a strong community group we can partner to keep local radio in New Brighton" he adds. The Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization connecting popular culture, nostalgia and radio heritage and its global website is www.radioheritage.net. Another of its 'Helping Rebuild Christchurch' projects involves restoring the original 3ZB radio studio and transmitter building in New Brighton in time for its 75th anniversary in 2012.

[HCDX] Radio Heritage Feature - Blue Hawaii
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.com April 26 2011 Elvis, Blue Hawaii and Hawaii Radio Dial 1961 It's 50 years ago that a young Elvis Presley recorded the sound track for his movie 'Blue Hawaii' that was released later that year, and the Radio Heritage Foundation has released a new feature celebrating the connections between Elvis, his music and the Hawaiian Radio Dial in 1961. Along with colorful Hawaiian adverts from the era, this new feature at www.radioheritage.com takes a look at events taking place in Hawaii in 1961, and brings together a rich array of content about the complete Hawaiian radio broadcasting scene at the time. Drawing on its own collections of Hawaiian radio material, the Radio Heritage Foundation has succeeded in bringing to life many aspects of Hawaiian broadcasting from that period. Station artwork, letters and cards from any of the broadcasters involved, including original station owners, all form a unique introduction to the Hawaiian radio dial at the same time as Elvis Presley was performing to raise funds for the Pacific War Memorial and filming the movie 'Blue Hawaii'. This new feature is in addition to the very popular Art of Radio Hawaii Exhibition which has been running at www.radioheritage.com for several years and together, the two features are a must see for anyone interested in how art, music and radio have collided in the islands. If you have your own memories, memorabilia and more you'd like to share about Hawaiian radio then the Radio Heritage Foundation wants to hear from you.

[HCDX] Christchurch Radio 'Returns to Normal"
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.com May 3 2011 Christchurch [NZ] Radio Dial Returns to Normal _ The Radio Heritage Foundation says the local radio dial in Christchurch [New Zealand] is almost back to the situation it was before the massive earthquake of February 22 2011 which disrupted many services. All radio station brands from the main broadcasting networks [Radioworks, The Radio Network, Radio New Zealand and Rhema Broadcasting Group] are on air with normal programs and no reported technical issues. Access to some local studios in the CBD continues to be an issue but the stations have been working around this problem for over two months now. Community access stations Plains FM and Compass FM are basically operating their usual schedules along with most other independent stations in the city, although again, some studio facilities remain off-limits in the CBD, with Pulzar FM amongst the worst affected. The eastern suburbs of the city have seen the return of local low power FM stations The Wave FM from Sumner and Burwood Community Radio, and Beachbreak FM at South New Brighton is close to returning to the airwaves. "Invercargill based Classic Gold now has a low power station located at New Brighton replacing the high powered emergency mobile station we initiated and which they operated as Radio New Brighton 102.1 FM for two months from outside the Central New Brighton School" says foundation chairman David Ricquish. >From this week, students at the fringe CBD based NZ Broadcasting School have also launched C96 FM using a high powered transmitter covering the city. The station is dedicated to the rebuilding of Christchurch and has a fund raising target of $NZ50,000 [$US30,000] to support local businesses and the community. "Radio proved it was able to respond quickly to local needs after the earthquake, although it did require bringing in additional resources from out of the city in the initial weeks, including a totally new local station for the eastern suburbs" says Ricquish. "It's clear that if a similar event should occur again, radio resources in the city would again be stretched, probably beyond breaking point. The value of having self-sufficient local community radio stations across the metro area has been driven home by the February earthquake, and they must be accorded greater value in future planning'. The Radio Heritage Foundation was saddened to see the demolition of the original Radio Broadcasting Company [3YA] studios and building in Christchurch in recent days, another casualty of the earthquake and damage caused to many older buildings. The Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization connecting popular culture, nostalgia and radio heritage and its global website is www.radioheritage.com.

[HCDX] Radio Heritage - Just 23 Donors Needed
Special Request Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.com May 5 2011 Broadcasting Legacy Worth Protecting? 35 Donors Found, Just 23 Needed __ Just imagine the loss if someone didn't take care of the stuff connected to radio broadcasting..the stories, tape recordings, photos, memorabilia and all the bits and pieces that continue to daily help shape our popular cultureand if you couldn't share and enjoy these things for free. Here at the Radio Heritage Foundation we've done this out of our own pockets for over 5 years, but our bank manager says no more, operational costs have to come from elsewhere in 2011. We want to keep the site free and add much more from the boxes of tapes, directories, old radio programs, photos and other stuff that keeps stacking up on a daily basis. Please visit www.radioheritage.com now and use the donation button and become one of just 23 remaining donors needed to cover our operational costs up to April 30. Even $US45 will sponsor one day so you can see that you can personally make a big difference right now. Your donation helps cover the costs of storing and researching nearly 100,000 tapes, cassettes, QSL cards, and other radio memorabilia items; office expenses like printer cartridges, postage, paper, travelling to protect and save materials from destruction, and all the other expenses that add up over a year so that we can continue sharing material through our website. Governments are slashing budgets and radio stations themselves are focussed on financial survival and often see no reason to meet these costs. That leaves it up to people like you and I and we know it's already been a tough year for many people. Because of the support already received, we've been able to start adding more new content to the website, slowly digging in to a massive backlog of features, stories, research papers, photos and audio as well as a digitized catalog of thousands of QSL cards and other memorabilia. Please go to www.radioheritage.com and donate now, with just 23 donations of $US100 we will meet 85% of the annual running costs up to April 30, and even $US45 will cover one day. Radio moves our hearts and minds, informs and entertains us and is part of the fabric of our daily lives. Hundreds of people like you have helped us with donations, buying books and CDs and contributing to our library and collections. Please help us to continue to honor this trust again in 2011. Just two months ago, we saw the need for an emergency radio station in earthquake shattered Christchurch, New Zealand. We arranged for a mobile FM station to relocate there and were granted an emergency broadcasting licence. This has helped uplift spirits in the city and we're especially grateful for the help from many radio stations around New Zealand who helped us get the station up and running. Usually, we record radio heritage. This time we had to become part of it ourselves. Keeping a radio by your side has never been more vital to your safety. Our radio guides can also help save lives and with your help we'll expand them in 2011. A donation of $US100 from just 23 more supporters like you will meet most of our operational costs for the 4 months to April 30 and $US45 will sponsor a complete day. Please do this today by going to www.radioheritage.com and using our donation button there. Thank you for staying with us in 2011 and making it possible for us to continue to keep this website free to use for everyone, and to keep bringing together our radio heritage, popular culture and nostalgia for all to enjoy. Please ask your friends and colleagues to visit www.radioheritage.com as well.

[HCDX] RNZI Shortwave Budget Frozen Again
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.com Radio New Zealand International Budget Frozen for Third Year ___ Wellington[NZ] New Zealand's international shortwave broadcaster, Radio New Zealand International [RNZI] has again had its annual budget frozen in the latest government budget for FY 2011-12 announced here today. This is the third year in a row that RNZI's budget has been capped at NZ$1.9m [US$1.5m) but the buying power in US dollars has actually increased by almost 20% because of the stronger New Zealand currency. The budget is forecast to stay the same in future years through to 2015, so the good news is that core shortwave services to the Pacific continue to be funded, but the bad news is that increased wages, costs and inflation [around 2-4% in the coming few years] will effectively put greater pressure on the broadcaster. Again, no funding is provided for a replacement of the 21 year old 100kW analog transmitter, but RNZI must achieve 99% transmission service on both this and the more recent 100kW digital capable transmitter. To reduce costs, RNZI often cuts the power down to 50kW on both transmitters, whilst making sure it also delivers daily news bulletins able to be rebroadcast by a minimum of 17 Pacific region radio stations. Currently, RNZI provides FM quality news bulletins and its flagship 'Dateline Pacific' program to some 19 Pacific stations, and rebroadcasts by the BBC Pacific program stream reach another 11 local stations across the Pacific region. In addition, RNZI provides live audio feeds, podcasts and audio on demand news, current affairs and other programs from its website www.rnzi.com. RNZI also continues to provide emergency tsunami, earthquake and cyclone warnings for much of the region between French Polynesia and the Solomon Islands and also works with New Zealand and Australian aid programs to upgrade the shortwave broadcasting capacity of local broadcasters such as VBTC Vanuatu and SIBC Solomon Islands. The budget freeze is in the context of government budget expenditure reaching 8.4% of GDP this year because of the world economic climate and the massive economic and social cost of the Christchurch earthquake in February. All government agencies have had budgets frozen or reduced for FY 2011-2012. Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit run by volunteers connecting popular culture, nostalgia and radio heritage across the Pacific. Features, news, information and radio listener guides are at www.radioheritage.com. Operating costs are currently 60% funded from supporters worldwide. Donations are welcome to support this free community service. US$50 donation covers one day of operating costs. ---[Start Commercial]- Order your WRTH 2011: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2011 ---[End Commercial]--- Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ ___ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.

[HCDX] New on RNZI - Earthquake Radio
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.com June 11 2011 RNZI Airs New Radio Heritage Documentary Earthquake Radio Join us from Monday, June 13 2011 as we bring you the inside story on Radio New Brighton 102.1 FM, the emergency radio station for earthquake hit Christchurch, to be broadcast on the Mailbox program from Radio New Zealand International. This unique documentary includes on-air sound grabs, interviews with the people who set up the station, volunteer announcers, and local residents. We usually research and write about radio stories, this time we were in the heart of the story ourselves. 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 report also backgrounds how the earthquake on February 22 2011 affected local radio stations, how they responded to the loss of their studios and yet still maintained 24/7 service, and broke the biggest news story in New Zealand for decades. You'll also learn about JOYZ2U 77.2 FM and other disaster recovery FM stations set up in Japan after their earthquake, tsunami and nuclear triple hit just two days before Radio New Brighton went to air. How the radio community in the two countries responded to the earthquakes has many similarities, but there are also key differences in how civil defence and local authorities regarded these emergency local radio stations. In one country they were ignored, in the other fully supported. So join us from Monday, June 13 2011 as we explore these two recent examples of earthquake radio on the Mailbox program from Radio New Zealand International [www.rnzi.com]. You can also use our fully up to date guide to contemporary AM radio in Japan and New Zealand with free access to our PAL Radio Guides at our global website www.radioheritage.com. Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization connecting popular culture, nostalgia and radio heritage across the Asia and Pacific region. Our website is www.radioheritage.com. To be removed from this mailing list send a return email with 'au revoir' in the subject line. We currently have an urgent need for donations towards our operating costs as the donor base in New Zealand has been devastated by calls for earthquake relief.

Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.com June 25 2011 RNZI Airs New Radio Heritage Documentary Papua New Guinea Radio Now Join us from Monday, June 27 2011 as we bring you an exclusive review of radio broadcasting in today's Papua New Guinea - so much more than 20 tropical band shortwave radio stations - on the Mailbox program from Radio New Zealand International. The program includes reviews of major Papua New Guinea radio websites, updates on the new radio licensing laws, how increased cell-phone coverage is opening up a rapidly growing youth market and some little known facts about contemporary broadcasting in this South West Pacific nation. 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. Few listeners comprehend that Port Moresby, the national capital, now has a population approaching 350,000 people, a freeway system, a booming construction of high rise office and residential buildings, and that local radio listeners have some 15 separate radio brands to choose from along the FM dialand even sponsored drivetime radio shows with local radio personalities. Commercial radio brands such as FM100, Nau FM, Yumi FM and new arrivals, are expanding rapidly across the mountainous country, using the cell-phone infrastructure networks that are exploding on the back of a major natural gas, oil and mineral resources boom. Radio station profits grew by 30% in 2010 and a new national media framework is bringing modern communications and FM radio to the most remote villages. The Kundu network with its dated shortwave radio stations, competing religious radio stations tangling the airwaves, new commercial stations, and a large base of local record studios churning out local popular music that feeds the playlists of Radio Morobe, Wantok Radio, Tribe FM and a growing number of other stations...this is just part of todays radio story. So join us from Monday, June 27 2011 as we explore the contemporary radio scene in Papua New Guinea on the Mailbox program from Radio New Zealand International [www.rnzi.com]. You can also use our fully up to date guides to contemporary AM and shortwave radio stations in Papua New Guinea with free access to our PAL Radio Guides at our global website www.radioheritage.com.

So, throw away the gym membership cards, the coffee, and all the rest of the clutter, turn on the radio and feel the happiness and energy...of course, we all knew that didn't we? It's why we all enjoy listening to the radio so much..and reading about bits of it at www.radioheritage.com. I'm not sure what we can do about you if you jog, drink coffee and listen to the radio at the same time... You're busy this week, so I won't take up too much of your time. This monthly message gets broadcast to thousands of people in over 100 countries so it's not as 'totally focussed' as a marketing expert recently told us to be because as a 'heritage channel' we let you pick and choose what bits of news to keep and which bits to throw away...you're in control.

[HCDX] Radio Heritage Expands to Europe
Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.com August 4 2011 Radio Heritage Foundation Extends Coverage to Europe _ WELLINGTON [New Zealand] The addition of major new European radio history content at its website [www.radioheritage.com] marks a move by the Radio Heritage Foundation to extend its coverage of radio heritage connections to Europe. Chairman David Ricquish says 'the borderless nature of radio waves has always made it inevitable that our focus would one day expand beyond our initial work in the Asia and Pacific region. In fact, our collections already have many materials relating to broadcasters based in Europe going back to the 1920's. European broadcasters, their ideas, policies and cultures have had a major influence on Pacific broadcasting for decades.' The new content covers individual station features, 44 European countries, almost 100 separately researched years of local European broadcasting, over 15 digitized early radio frequency guides and some 250 audio samples and images. The material has a special focus on local European broadcasting history centered on mediumwave [AM] and longwave stations, events and personalities covering the entire 20th century and the first decade of the current period. Mr Ricquish adds 'Belgian based Herman Boel has collected together, with help from other European sources, a wonderful treasure trove of radio heritage material. Herman needed to spend more time on other projects so we are delighted to make sure his efforts and dedication are maintained and continue to be freely accessible to the community.' There are many connections between European and Asia & Pacific radio heritage issues that can now be explored and showcased at www.radioheritage.com. These include the many European based shortwave broadcasters that are now fading from the airwaves but which have influenced several generations of audiences in the wider Pacific region. Amateur radio heritage connections with Europe are another area of immediate concern. The Radio Heritage Foundation already has over 200 Asian and Pacific radio heritage features at www.radioheritage.com, hosts detailed radio guides such as the PAL Radio Guide series with thousands of stations covered on AM, Shortwave and FM, has researched and produced some 40 radio documentaries for Radio New Zealand International, and is the official World Radio TV Handbook country contributor for over 25 Pacific countries. _ The Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit cultural organization connecting popular culture, nostalgia and radio heritage. It is 100% run by volunteers. It's global website is www.radioheritage.com. Donations from annual supporters and friends currently meet 50% of the operational overheads needed.

[HCDX] New Australian Heritage AM Radio
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.com September 7 2011 Australian Heritage AM Radio Series 1 Long Lost Australian Radio Stars 2DU Dubbo 2GN Goulburn The latest additions to this popular series hosted by the Radio Heritage Foundation at www.radioheritage.com have now been published. The features take a nostalgic look back 65 years to the mid-1940s and the personalities, programs and station profiles of Australian Heritage AM Radio across the country before TV and FM arrived on the scene. Slightly quaint and qwirky for today's reader, the first series has already reached 50 features of individual stations giving a wonderful insight into how radio entertained and informed Australians of the age. The new features cover two original country radio stations in New South Wales - 2DU Dubbo and 2GN Goulburn - and are both free to access at www.radioheritage.com. Old station letterheads and photos have been found to illustrate the features along with original station logos and old promotional advertising. 2DU was known as the 'Western Station' and broadcast during the week from 6.45am-2pm, taking an extended break and then returning again from 5.30-10pm. It would be impossible to find 2DU or other commercial stations taking such a long lunch today! Hospital Sessions, The Children's Western Radio Sunday School, Colgate Palmolive Radio Programs and the Peter's Ice Cream Show were amongst the popular offerings. At 2GN Goulburn, graduates of the Marconi School of Wireless on the staff included F R Pearce [manager] and V L Shearstone [technician-announcer] whilst pioneer announcer A S Cochrane [who started with the Farmer & Co station 2FC Sydney in 1923] handled Sunday evenings. Many other early radio personalities are included in these two new features on 2DU Dubbo and 2GN Goulburn. If you have your own memories, memorabilia and more you'd like to share about either of these stations, or any of the 50 stations featured in series, the Radio Heritage Foundation wants to hear from you. It may be some old photos, booklets, newspaper or magazine articles or even some recordings. Memories of listening to the radio over the years are also important and wanted because they help people understand the important community role played by radio over several generations.

[HCDX] More Quirky Australian AM Radio
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.com September 15 2011 Australian Heritage AM Radio Series 1 Long Lost Australian Radio Stars 2XL Cooma, 4GY Gympie and 2WL Wollongong The latest additions to this popular series hosted by the Radio Heritage Foundation at www.radioheritage.com have now been published. The features take a nostalgic look back 65 years to the mid-1940s and the personalities, programs and station profiles of Australian Heritage AM Radio across the country before TV and FM arrived on the scene. Slightly quaint and qwirky for today's reader, the first series has already reached 50 features of individual stations giving a wonderful insight into how radio entertained and informed Australians of the age. The new features cover two original country radio stations 2XL Cooma and 4GY Gympie, as well as the famous 2WL Wollongong and all three are free to access at www.radioheritage.com. Old station letterheads and photos have been found to illustrate the features along with original station logos and station advertising. 2XL Cooma 'Centre of Monaro' broadcast for 8 hours daily with special sessions for local towns such as Bombala and Adaminaby. It's biggest claim to fame was the Thursday night Yodelling Session with regular listeners from New Zealand and many letters each week from Tasmanian fans. Yes, a Yodelling Session. We wonder how this would fit in a current commercial station format in 2011. This coming November 3, 4GY Gympie will celebrate 70 years on the air, having started just before the outbreak of WWII in the Pacific. Originally amateur radio station 4JO, it's owner S L Fittell fought hard for many years to obtain the commercial licence for 4GY. The feature includes a photo of the first studios and popular radio serial stars from The Quiz Kids as well as introducing 4GY personalities such as Eric Chippendall, Beryl Reed [Womens Session] whilst manager L G Smith had a background travelling the world as a radio operator on tramp steamers. Radio 2WL The South Coast Station was one of the best known commercial stations in New South Wales outside Sydney and began broadcasting 80 years ago on July 18 1931. Russell A Yeldon 'Uncle Bob' was owner, controller and announcer in 1931, and the station grew quickly to expand coverage around Wollongong and build a strong on-air team including Margaret Broadfoot [Friendship Club], George Hilders [South Coast Hit Parade] and Ian Marshall [Around the World With Song]. Syd Hayes of the Illawarra Rugby League was a popular sports voice, and a number of other personalities are also featured. Many other early radio personalities are included in these three new features on 2XL Cooma, 4GY Gympie and 2WL Wollongong. If you have your own memories, memorabilia and more you'd like to share about any of these stations, or any of the 50 stations featured in series, the Radio Heritage Foundation wants to hear from you. It may be some old photos, booklets, newspaper or magazine articles or even some recordings. Memories of listening to the radio over the years are also important and wanted because they help people understand the important community role played by radio over several generations.

[HCDX] AFRS India-Burma Memories Honored
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation October 18 2011 _ US Armed Forces Radio 70th Anniversary 1941-2011 Six New Features Released India-Burma WWII _ The Radio Heritage Foundation releases six new features celebrating AFRS radio stations in India and Burma during the 1940's at its global website www.radioheritage.com. 2011 is the 70th anniversary of American Armed Forces Radio broadcasts, and the six new features look at AFRS radio in a part of the world that few people today know once had these temporary radio stations. AFRS India-Burma looks at the network of 16 stations set up in what are now India, Pakistan, Burma and Sri Lanka to entertain and inform US forces during WWII and the campaigns to both protect India and help the Chinese war effort. AFRS The Ledo Road visits the network of AFRS stations along the famous Ledo Road built to bring supplies by road from Northern India to China via Burma. This feature was written as the stations were closing down. AFRS WOTO Bhamo is a contemporary look at the 'Wings Over The Orient' radio station in northern Burma, one of the stations along The Ledo Road. This is a fascinating visit inside the operations of one of the most isolated AFRS stations in the region. AFRS VU2ZP Bangalore introduces the personnel and programs that made this local AFRS station one of the most popular in India during its short time on the air. Rare photos from the private collection of one of the original VU2ZP broadcasters bring extra meaning to the written words. AFRS VU2ZP Signs-Off is a retrospective of the Bangalore station, including its sleepless monitoring that helped it be the first station in India to report the end of the war in Europe. Again, rare photos of staff and VU2ZP studios make this a special feature. AFRS VU2ZS Misamari is another contemporary indepth look at the people and programs of the small AFRS station at Misamari. These six new items are in addition to the introductory feature AFRS China-Burma-India already at www.radioheritage.com. This also covers stations in China and remains the only comprehensive listing of the stations involved. The features have been made possible by CBI veterans and their families preserving a variety of original resources such as magazines and photos and we encourage support for their projects. We're pleased to help bring them to a broader audience. Many other AFRS radio features at www.radioheritage.com include rare photos and personal memories and stories from the past 70 years of AFRS operations. The Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization connecting popular culture, nostalgia and radio heritage at its global website www.radioheritage.com. Sponsors now get a free World Radio TV Handbook 2012 shipped worldwide for their support of this international project.

[HCDX] New Australian Radio History Features
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.com October 21 2011 Long Lost Australian Radio Stars 2GF Grafton, 2KA Katoomba and 3GL Geelong The latest additions to this popular series hosted by the Radio Heritage Foundation at www.radioheritage.com have now been published. The features take a nostalgic look back 65 years to the mid-1940s and the personalities, programs and station profiles of Australian Heritage AM Radio across the country before TV and FM arrived on the scene. Slightly quaint and qwirky by today's standards, the first series has reached over 50 features of individual stations giving a wonderful insight into how radio entertained and informed Australians of the age. Fans of any of these individual stations can now be recognized online as well if they become a current sponsor. The new features cover two original NSW country radio stations 2GF Grafton and 2KA Katoomba, as well as 3GL Geelong and all three are free to access at www.radioheritage.com. Old station publicity and photos have been found to illustrate the features along with original station logos. 2GF Grafton - The Voice of the Clarence was "First for Information, First for Entertainment and First for Inspiration' and station manager was J K S Lowe whilst Miss B Charleston 'a keen horsewoman and golfer' was an announcer. "In permanent relay with Station 2GZ", 'The Voice of the Mountains' 2KA broadcast from studios in the main street of Katoomba. Although it 'does not claim metropolitan listeners, probably no other country station is received better in Sydney' says the feature. "Old Established 3GL' began broadcasts 80 years ago in November 1931, the second country station in Victoria. Owned by the Geelong Advertiser newspaper, 3GL carried Victorian Football League matches, the 'Cashmere Bouquet Show' and had a staff of 19 people. If you have your own memories, memorabilia and more you'd like to share about any of these stations, or any of the more than 50 stations featured in this series, the Radio Heritage Foundation wants to hear from you. It may be some old photos, booklets, newspaper or magazine articles or even some recordings. Memories of listening to the radio over the years are also important and wanted because they help people understand the important community role played by radio over several generations.

[HCDX] New Feature - Chinese Radio in 1937
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation October 22 2011 _ Chinese Local Radio in the 1930's _ The Radio Heritage Foundation releases a new feature 'Chinese Radio in 1937' at www.radioheritage.com which offers a fascinating insight into early radio broadcasting in China. Advertising sponsored shows, story telling, radio plays, news, modern Chinese music and Chinese jazz were all part of the popular programs heard from some 89 stations across China in 1937. This contemporary review of Chinese radio appeared just 15 years after the first stations, all American owned and operated, appeared on the dials, and a decade after the first Chinese owned station began operations in Shanghai. "Scores of little stations, with power ranging from 100 to 500 watts regularly broadcast programs which boast a popularity easily comparable with that of the top-notch network performances in America" wrote author Robert H Berkov at the time. The review [originally in Modern Mechanix magazine] includes rare photos of popular amateur singers at XHHS in Shanghai and some of the facilities for powerful XGOA in Nanking. It follows the earlier release of 'Shanghai Radio Dial 1941' which details all stations in the city at that time, and together, the two features serve to introduce 1930's Chinese radio to a wider audience. One thing is certain, Chinese listeners by the hundreds of millions have been entertained and informed by their own local radio stations for almost 90 years, and radio remains incredibly popular. The Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization connecting popular culture, nostalgia and radio heritage. The global website is www.radioheritage.com.

[HCDX] New - Early Radio in China & Japan
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.com November 5 2011 _ Two New First-Hand Radio Stories Opening a Radio Station in Peking & a Mobile Truck Radio in Japan _ The Radio Heritage Foundation releases two new features with first-hand personal stories about early broadcasting in Asia at www.radioheritage.com. The first is 'Early Chinese Radio in Peking' and tells how Melvin Bok left school early to begin building radio sets and eventually ended up starting a radio station in Peking known as XOMO. Melvin later went on to work with radio in Shanghai, and his story has remained untold ever since. It's based on a series of interviews in Hong Kong shortly before his death. Today we don't associate private commercial radio with broadcasting in China, but before 1949, there was a vibrant radio scene in that sprawling country. This is documented in another recent feature 'Chinese Radio in the 1930's' also now available from the Radio Heritage Foundation website. In southern Japan in 1946, an Australian broadcasting truck provided entertainment for British Commonwealth Occupation Forces. "This is Station WLKT Miho' is the personal story of Peter Knowlden, a British RAF serviceman who ended up broadcasting from this small station at a small airfield. Based on a series of recent interviews from Vancouver, Peter's story of how he ended up spinning disks from an Australian station with an American call-sign in Japan sheds light on the largely undocumented history of the small number of non-US radio stations that broadcast at the time. Both features are well illustrated with rare images and form part of an ongoing project to document radio heritage across the Asian region.

[HCDX] Final Australian Radio History Series
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.com December 14 2011 Long Lost Australian Radio Stars 2KM Kempsey, 2MW Murwillumbah, 2QN Deniliquin, 3BA Ballarat and 4IP Ipswich The final five additions to this popular series hosted by the Radio Heritage Foundation at www.radioheritage.com have now been published. The features take a nostalgic look back 65 years to the mid-1940s and the personalities, programs and station profiles of Australian Heritage AM Radio across the country before TV and FM arrived on the scene. Qwirky by today's standards, the first series has reached over 50 features of individual stations giving a wonderful insight into how radio entertained and informed Australians of the age. The new features cover three original NSW country radio stations 2KM Kempsey, 2MW Murwillumbah and 2QN Deniliquin, as well as 3BA Ballarat and 4IP Ipswich and all five are free to access at www.radioheritage.com. Old station publicity and photos have been found to illustrate the features along with original station logos. 2KM - The Voice of the Macleay' was the only radio station on the air between Newcastle and Grafton, and served 'one of the richest dairying and kindred industry districts in the Commonwealth'. Colgate-Palmolive sponsored five programs whilst Kelloggs Pty, Peters Ice Cream, Nestles, and Cadbury were just some of the other station sponsors. Further north was 2MW Murwillumbah 'The Voice of the Far North Coast' which was an independent station 'owing allegiance to no network'. In the south-west of the state, 2QN Deniliquin 'The Riverina Station' was headed by John Pearce who 'always seemed to be organizing something, even, we believe, smoke parties'. Further south is 3BA Ballarat 'Voice of the Garden City' with a wonderful original letterhead showing it was truly a station 'Built on Gold' and serving 'a city of over 40,000 inhabitants and over 400 factories'. The final station in this series is 4IP Ipswich, whose 'children's sessions are eagerly awaited by thousands of young people' and whose listeners 'subscribed generously to appeals for Red Cross, Bundles for Britain, Salvage Drives etc'. If you have your own memories, memorabilia and more you'd like to share about any of these stations, or any of the more than 50 stations featured in this series, the Radio Heritage Foundation wants to hear from you. It may be some old photos, booklets, newspaper or magazine articles or even some recordings. Memories of listening to the radio over the years are also important and wanted because they help people understand the important community role played by radio over several generations. Coming in 2012, a new series honoring hundreds of Australia's Radio Pioneers, part of our continuing commitment to preserving and recording Australia's radio heritage for future generations to enjoy.

[HCDX] Radio Heritage "Listening with Lizzie"
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.com January 14 2012 Listening with Lizzie British Commonwealth on the Air 1952-53 Celebrating the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II 1952-2012 ___ "Listening with Lizzie" is the new feature celebrating the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II 1952-2012 just released at www.radioheritage.com by the Radio Heritage Foundation. This is a nostalgic review of the radio broadcasting scene across the then British Commonwealth sixty years ago, when places such as British Honduras, British Somaliland, Aden, Zanzibar, Gold Coast, Northern Rhodesia and many other colonies and territories were contributing to the 'British" world of radio. You'll enjoy classic ephemera from such stations as the Central African Broadcasting Station, Cable & Wireless in the Kenya Colony, the Near East Arab Broadcasting Station from Cyprus, the Commercial Service of Radio Ceylon, Radio Malaya from Singapore, Radio ZBP Pitcairn Island, Radio Jamaica ZQI and many others. "Let's visit the British Commonwealth as the young Queen Elizabeth II would have found it, and imagine we're listening in to the sounds of a radio magically sweeping across the dial and across the world, and picking up the sounds of her realm in 1952-53." The feature covers Great Britain, Europe, Africa, Asia, the Pacific and the Americas, and gives a unique insight into how broadcasting was emerging at different levels across many parts of the globe in this first decade after the end of the conflicts of World War II. "Listening with Lizzie" British Commonwealth on the Air is now available at www.radioheritage.net/story254.asp and is one of a growing number of new Popular Culture features produced by the Radio Heritage Foundation.

[HCDX] Music of Your Life Returns to AM Radio
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation January 27 2012 New Life on AM for Music of Your Life _ Those who listened to US stations in the late 70's and early 80's will remember this music format - featuring adult standards - heard on a large number of AM stations. After years of decline as listeners moved away from AM, the format found a new home online [www.musicofyourlife.com] supported by a small group of generally low power fringe AM stations in areas with high numbers of retirees. In a stunning comeback, MOYL has signed a deal with the owner of some 39 AM stations to replace many existing brokered Asian and Spanish language programs with their formula of 'Great American Songbook' and complementary adult contemporary hits [think Michael Buble] from February 1 2012. What's interesting: Asian and Spanish language programs are replaced [presumably as their younger listeners migrate to FM and online], music returns to AM, and some of these high power [10-50kW] stations are familiar to many listeners: KBLA 1580 in Los Angeles, KIQI 1010 in San Francisco, KXPA 1540 in Seattle, KWRU 940 in Fresno, WNMA 1210 in Miami and many others. MOYL is targeted directly at the 'baby boomer' market, and is closely associated with long time artist Pat Boone and his family - he's one of the personality presenters - and advertisers are clearly seeing value in using this format on AM radio in major US radio markets to reach the 55+ listeners. For these older listeners, it'll be pleasant to tune to AM and hear familiar tunes and slow paced presenters instead of incessant talk, chatter and sports. The real test will be - can MOYL move some of the next generation current 40-55 audience from FM to AM - and breathe new life back into the AM dial. >From a radio heritage perspective, this move by MOYL underscores the appeal of radio and familiar music to the 'babyboomer' generation which grew up with AM radio, and which increasingly and instinctively returns to its roots as retirement beckons. It's this audience which dominates visitors to the Radio Heritage Foundation website [www.radioheritage.com] and enjoys the hundreds of entertaining features about broadcasters from their era of radio. If you're interested in radio from the 1930-1970 era, you'll enjoy many of the stories, images and memories at www.radioheritage.com.

[HCDX] New on RNZI - Australian Radio 1922
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.com February 19 2012 RNZI Airs New Radio Heritage Documentary Australian Radio 90 Years Ago in 1922 Join us from Monday, February 20 2012 to enter the fascinating world of Australian radio broadcasting in 1922 on the Mailbox program from Radio New Zealand International. For 20 years, Australian radio amateurs had the right to broadcast local music and other programs on the standard mediumwave radio dial, sharing frequencies with licenced commercial radio stations in the evenings and on Sunday mornings. 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. In the years between 1921 and 1922, over 50 local radio stations were broadcasting in Australia, all run by local radio amateurs. Some of these operations were very sophisticated for their time, broadcasting for nearly 10 hours each week and operators soon going on to help establish the ABC and commercial radio stations. 2CM Sydney was the first station with 3ME Melbourne, 4CM Brisbane, and 5BG Adelaide also amongst the early starters. In the program, you'll hear more about these stations and the pioneers such as Charles MacLurcan, Ray Allsop, Harry Douglas, Sydney Neuman, Thomas Elliott and others. You'll also hear some of the music played by these early radio stations, which stayed on the air until late 1939 when WWII finally silenced them. So join us from Monday, February 20 2012 as we enjoy some early Australian radio history from 90 years ago on the Mailbox program from Radio New Zealand International [www.rnzi.com]. You can also use our fully up to date Australian AM & FM Radio Guides at our global website www.radioheritage.com. Use our Google Search to find more features about broadcasting in Australia, including over 50 features about individual stations from the mid-1940s in the Long Lost Australian Radio Guides series.

[HCDX] Australian Amateur Radio DJs in 1921
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.com February 23 2012 Australian Radio 90 Years Ago in 1922 Amateur Radio DJ's Lead the Way For some 20 years, Australian radio amateurs had the right to broadcast local music and other programs on the standard mediumwave radio dial, sharing frequencies with licenced commercial radio stations in the evenings and on Sunday mornings. The Radio Heritage Foundation has just released its latest feature 'Amateur Radio DJs Lead the Way" at www.radioheritage.com co-inciding with the broadcast of the new radio documentary currently being heard on Radio New Zealand International. In the years between 1921 and 1922, over 50 local radio stations were broadcasting in Australia, all run by local radio amateurs. Some of these operations were very sophisticated for their time, broadcasting for nearly 10 hours each week and operators soon going on to help establish the ABC and commercial radio stations. 2CM Sydney was the first station with 3ME Melbourne, 4CM Brisbane, and 5BG Adelaide also amongst the early starters. In the feature you'll hear more about these stations and the pioneers such as Charles MacLurcan, Ray Allsop, Harry Douglas, Sydney Neuman, Thomas Elliott and others. You'll also see images of early Australian radio from 1921 including rare QSL postcards issued by some of the early amateur radio DJs from our collections. You can also use our fully up to date Australian AM, FM & Digital Radio Guides at our global website www.radioheritage.com. Use our Google Search to find more features about broadcasting in Australia, including over 50 features about individual stations from the mid-1940s in the Long Lost Australian Radio Guides series. You can listen to the documentary for one month from February 19 2012 by visiting the audio-on-demand service for Mailbox audio at the RNZI website www.rnzi.com. This audio will later be added to the feature at www.radioheritage.com. Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization connecting popular culture, nostalgia and radio heritage.

[HCDX] New on RNZI - Serials connect ANZACs
Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.com February 29 2012 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]. You can also use our fully up to date Australian AM, FM and Digital Radio Guides at our global website www.radioheritage.com.
