'Fighting Voices from Downunder' www.radioheritage.net/story197.asp is an important review of Australian and New Zealand military radio covering the conflicts from World War 2 through to Vietnam.

'Australian WWII Pacific Radio' www.radioheritage.net/story69.asp takes a detailed look at the network of radio stations across the western Pacific, Papua and New Guinea, Netherlands East Indies and the Straits Settlements that broadcast entertainment and information for Australian forces. 'This is Station WLKT Miho' www.radioheritage.net/story246.asp is a rare recollection of broadcasting in occupied Japan from one of the mobile radio trucks that was shipped from Australia in late 1945.

Commercial station 2ZB was launching with much fanfare on April 28 but was upstaged by commercial sounding [but non-commercial] station 2YD launching on April 25. Feature Station 2YD Wellington Ambush www.radioheritage.net/story259.asp includes original surprised press reports, a rare listener card issued for the first day of broadcast and personal memories from a former 2YD technician. Radio 2YD introduced such popular radio serials as 'Dad and Dave' and 'Fred and Maggie Everybody' to Kiwi audiences, later becoming 2ZM before joining the now Auckland based ZMFM music network that still operates in Wellington today. Meanwhile, 2ZB Wellington 75 Years Early Personalities is the second new feature found at www.radioheritage.net/story258.asp which introduces many favorite Kiwi radio stars such as Aunt Daisy and Selwyn Toogood. Packed with long lost images of early personalities and other 2ZB memorabilia, this 75th anniversary feature will bring back happy memories for older listeners and give today's listeners a taste of the legacy of what has now become the local outlet of the Auckland based NewstalkZB network. Radio 2YD and Radio 2ZB, two stations from 1937 that illustrate how even state radio could spring surprises on themselves and their listeners.

[IRCA] Radio Heritage 14 February Donors Wanted
For anyone interested: --- Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.com Just 14 More Donors Needed for February and Good News! __ We're humbled by your response since writing about six weeks ago about our financial challenges in 2011! Not only did we fully cover our January operating expensesbut many of you took the time to tell us how important the work we do is to you...and sent us even more features, stories and images to keep us busy! We know you understand the need to 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 how much you value going online at www.radioheritage.com for free. We'd really like to keep it that way. If you made a donation in January [and we've replied personally to you all] then this next bit is now for others who would like to take a turn and help us in February. Will you please take a turn this month? ___ Please visit www.radioheritage.com now and use the donation button in the top right hand corner 'Fund Raising 2011' .. our target for February is 14 more donors who will donate US$100 each. Even US$40 will sponsor one day for us, so you can see how you can quickly make a big difference. Mini-Campaigns Launched ___ Since January we've also started testing some mini-campaigns to reach businesses who benefit from commercial radio. You can see several of these postcards in the Kiwi Radio Campaign News feature at www.radioheritage.com. Sponsor one and get involved with a mini-campaign yourself! We've also been asked by many of you to keep adding more content. We said we would do this if operational funding costs could be covered and so far it's looking good! Thank you! Say 'Yes' to the new website! _ So, we dusted off the plans for our new 'Facebook meets Wiki' style website and asked the web company to go ahead on the basis we pay them only if we have the funds! We've started a special project funding campaign at www.indiegogo.com [enter 'Unlocking the Vaults'] to find the US$3,033 we need for this because we're hopeful one commercial sponsor will pick this up and have a story and product or service to share that you'll also enjoy. We're also advertising for a temporary part time volunteer to start work in mid-March on loading lots of great new content from our backlog. If you're interested, you can read our ad at www.thebigidea.co.nz, just look under 'Work-Jobs & Opportunities'. We will do our best to respect your ongoing help and bring you much more material from our vaults as we carefully balance the financial demands we're facing each day. The Bank Manager Here at the Radio Heritage Foundation we've done this out of our own pockets for over 5 years, but our bank manager has said 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 in the top right hand corner 'Fund Raising 2011' and be one of the February target of 14 donors who will donate US$100 each. Even US$40 will make a big difference and cover one days operational costs. No such thing as a 'Free Lunch" ___ 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 see no reason to meet these costs. That leaves it up to people like you and I and we know it's shaping up as another tough year for many people. Radio Moves Us __ Please go to www.radioheritage.com and donate now, with just 14 donations of US$100 we will meet 85% of the monthly running costs for February, and even US$40 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. Help us to continue to honor this trust again in 2011. Thanks for continuing to keep it all free! __ Thank you for joining us in 2011. You're making it possible 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

Radio New Zealand, The Radio Network and Radioworks all have studios within this zone and engineers are still working through some city buildings to determine whether they are safe for temporary or permanent access and use. Considerable damage to some buildings housing the studios is likely. NewstalkZB has been carrying its news coverage across 1017,1098 and 1503 AM and 106.5 AM [replacing Hauraki Amp'd]. Their main mast at Orohuia has reportedly sunk in the ground from liquifaction. Another Newstalk ZB frequency audible in western parts of the city is 873AM from Ashburton, 50 miles south. Other Auckland based network programs heard on Christchurch area transmitters include Niu FM [Pacific Island languages], and those of RBG Rhema Broadcasting Group. RDU 98.5 has returned to the air from temporary studios whilst Tahu 90.5 now refers to Christchurch as Quake City and has been heard carrying Maori language iwi network programs. Pulzar 105.7 FM which lost its studios in the September 2010 earthquake is broadcasting automated music programs. Local community access Plains FM has studios at the Christchurch Polytech campus in the CBD and this zone will be opened up for access on Monday March 14. It continues using its transmitter to broadcast the BBC World Service from London as an emergency measure. Radio Ferrymead 1413AM returns again for the period March 11-14 with automated programs and reduced live broadcasts on March 12-13. Volcano Radio 88.5 in Lyttelton continues amazing service to the shattered port area with music and local community and emergency announcements. Destroyed or damaged local LPFM stations now include One-Eyed FM [Aranui], Beachbreak FM [South New Brighton] and The Wave [Sumner] whilst Burwood Community Radio near badly damaged QEII Park is reportedly silent but may be able to return on air shortly. Power supply is fragile. LPFM stations in Redwood, Bishopdale, Wigram, Kaiapoi, and Akaroa are all operating. The Radio Heritage Foundation, in association with Classic Gold Radio Winton, is finalizing plans to bring a fully equipped mobile radio studio to broadcast directly from New Brighton in the coming days. 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. It hosts the PAL mediumwave and shortwave Radio Guides, New Zealand Low Power FM Radio Guide and is the country editor for the Pacific region for the World Radi
[IRCA] Radio Survives and Thrives; The History of Kentucky Broadcasting from 1945-1970
Forwarded from ircaonline.org: --- Press Release Book Announcement Radio Survives and Thrives The History of Kentucky Broadcasting from 1945-1970 By Kenneth D. MacHarg Summary: When the “Purple People Eater” on Louisville’s WAKY came roaring out of listener’s radios on July 7, 1958, radio in Kentucky, and for that matter across the nation, had changed forever. Radio Survives and Thrives is a new publication that describes the changes in Kentucky radio between the end of world war two and the early 1970s as well as the emergence of television in the Commonwealth during those years. Profiling entertainers and stations across the commonwealth, this 60-page publication will bring back many memories and help the reader understand how broadcasting developed and moved toward what it is today. Radio Survives and Thrives is available in print from www.amazon.com, and electronically for Kindle and Nook reading devices. Radio Survives and Thrives The History of Kentucky Broadcasting from 1945-1970 By Kenneth D. MacHarg https://www.createspace.com/Img/T358/T77/T79/BookCoverImage.jpgWhen the “Purple People Eater” on Louisville’s WAKY came roaring out of listener’s radios on July 7, 1958, radio in Kentucky, and for that matter across the nation, had changed forever. Not that those changes should have been unexpected. Since early that decade radio had been faced with a life-threatening situation. The development of television combined with the decline in network radio put local stations into a crisis. The end of World War II saw radio at its apex. Programming from network and local sources filled the airwaves, and local stations were springing up all across the landscape. Radio Survives and Thrives is a new publication that describes the changes in radio between the end of world war two and the early 1970s as well as the emergence of television in the Commonwealth during those years. Originally written as a major chapter for a book on the history of radio in Kentucky, this essay was not used, though it was available to Francis Nash who penned the excellent book Towers over Kentucky: A history of radio and TV in the Bluegrass State that was published by Host Communications in cooperation with the Kentucky Broadcasters Association. For those who want to explore this fascinating era of radio and television history statewide, writer Kenneth D. MacHarg has issued the material in this 60 page booklet available from the following sources: ü in published form at: https://www.createspace.com/3587779, ü in electronic form through Kindle at: http://www.amazon.com/Radio-Survives-and-Thrives-ebook/dp/B004U35ALM/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2&s=books&qid=1302019852&sr=8-6 ü for a nook electronic reader at: http://productsearch.barnesandnoble.com/search/results.aspx?store=EBOOK&WRD=kenneth+macharg&page=index&prod=univ&choice=ebooks&query=Kenneth+MacHarg&flag=False&pos=-1&box=Kenneth+MacHarg&box=kenneth%20macharg&pos=-1&ugrp=2 Reading through this publication, the reader will understand why the broadcast media changed during this period. Many radio and TV stations across the state are profiled along with an exploration of the types of programming offered and some of the individuals who helped to make it happen. Listeners will be reminded of on-air personalities from across the state who became like personal friends or who went on to national stardom. In addition, readers will find mention of not only the giant broadcasters in cities such as Louisville and Lexington, but those hometown stations that continued to serve their communities through news, sports broadcasts and entertainment including live, on-air performances by local musicians, country music performers and others. Stations from across the state, from Owensboro to Ashland, Pikeville to Paducah are featured. Author Kenneth MacHarg writes: “I trust you will enjoy this history of the exciting world of broadcasting in Kentucky between 1945 and 1970, its successes, its failures, its foibles, its service to the listeners of Kentucky. Perhaps it will bring back many memories to you or at least help you to understand how broadcasting developed and moved toward what it is today.” For additional information on ordering Radio Survives and Thrives, The History of Kentucky Broadcasting from 1945-1970, use the links above or search for the book at www.amazon.com.

[IRCA] ANZAC Radio Heritage 2011
ANZAC Radio Heritage 2011 Fighting Voices from Downunder Radio was still a teenager when called up for active duty in 1939 with the outbreak of World War II but had moved into respectable middle age by 1970 when the Vietnam War was raging says the Radio Heritage Foundation in the latest feature at website www.radioheritage.com. Released to remember ANZAC Day on April 25 2011, this new feature looks at how Australian and New Zealand military forces took radio along with them on their journey to battlefields as far flung as the Middle East, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, South East Asia, the Pacific, and even within Australia's Northern Territory. "Fighting Voices from Downunder' visits the extensive ABC Radio facilities at Gaza in Palestine, RAAF Madang 'The Voice of the Islands', 5DR Darwin, 9AF Labuan in the Straits Settlements, AKAA Yamaguchi 'Voice of the 2NZEF', WLKS Kure, Radio Commonwealth near the North Korean border, RAAF Butterworth and AFR Vung Tau.

There are extensive links and references to nearly 40 other AFRS and related features throughout www.radioheritage.com. Illustrations from the Australian War Memorial collections accompany the feature, as well as a previously unseen photo from New Zealand station AKAA.

[IRCA] Radio Heritage Feature - Blue Hawaii
For anyone interested: --- 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. It may be some old photos, booklets, newspaper or magazine articles or even some recordings.

[IRCA] Christchurch Radio 'Returns to Normal"
For anyone interested: --- 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. 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.

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.

[IRCA] Papua New Guinea Radio Review
For anyone interested: --- Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.com May 16 2011 Papua New Guinea Broadcasting Review ___ We're currently reviewing the status of broadcasting in PNG as part of our ongoing updates for the World Radio TV Handbook [WRTH] and our PAL Radio Guides at www.radioheritage.com. Radio Eastern Highlands 3395kHz at Goroka has been reported inactive on SW for some time. In fact, we had even removed it from the WRTH listing. However, we understand it was most recently off SW for 9 months, returning briefly in January 2011 before another technical problem has taken it off air yet again. An NBC engineer says 'Radio Eastern Highlands faced a lot of 'off-air' time a few years back because the IC kept getting cooked, and recently [January 2011] the entire mini-transformer box at the transmitter was blown to bits." "Other TV and 3 radio stations piggyback on our tower and went off air for a whole month. We were lucky we have a standby generator for a bypass power supply." "The SW transmitter magnetic contactor blew out, so no SW service, using only FM. We've also reduced transmission hours by one, terminating at 2100 hours [local] and this will remain so until the SW transmitter fault is rectified." The problems are linked to the power authority upgrading national power supplies, and huge voltage surges [up to 400v] are blowing out integrated circuits. An engineer comments 'NBC engineers have to be very current with PPL's [power company] upgrade and automation so that our delicate digital equipment is not cooked up in their upgrade process." As a general observation, MW/SW radio services of NBC may often operate irregularly outside Port Moresby because of technical and funding issues. Simply put,they can come and go from the air as they break down, get fixed, then break down again and listeners need to constantly monitor all PNG shortwave outlets to have a current overview of their status. NBC plans to replace MW/SW stations with FM only by 2015 but funding issues are now reported to be delaying implementation. Commercial network FM100 by comparison, has a rapidly growing and technically secure FM network because it is owned by Telikom, the main infrastructure operator. Its FM frequencies are generally claimed to have 200km coverage which indicates relatively high powered and well located [often on mountains] transmitter sites. Mobile phone use is growing rapidly in PNG with operators Telikom and Digicel expanding nationwide coverage across the archipelago. Most radio listeners prefer the commercial FM services such as FM100, Nau and Yumi FM The predominately young population prefers inbuilt FM receivers in mobile phones for listening so the demand for MW and SW services falls faster every year. Religious broadcaster Wantok Radio Light have recently upgraded their satellite systems at each FM relay station, opened two new FM stations and are planning on some 10 more in 2011 alone to maintain contact with the rapidly growing FM radio audiences. Blessed Peter ToRot Radio, a network of Catholic community radio stations has also reactivated Radio St.Gabriel on shortwave at Vanimo in recent weeks. Vanimo is some 20km from the border with Indonesia and there is high tension in the area because of the Free West Papua movement, reports of police and military brutality, and a local economy still suffering from the effects of a devastating tsunami in the area in the recent past. We are continuing to monitor broadcasting in PNG with the help of several sources within the country in an effort to improve the quality of information available for listeners, travellers and others using the WRTH listings and those of the PAL Radio Guides at www.radioheritage.com. Observations, comments and news about PNG broadcasting issues are very welcome to i...@radioheritage.net. ** Radio Heritage Foundation is a non-profit organization connecting popular culture, nostalgia and radio heritage worldwide.

[IRCA] RNZI Shortwave Budget Frozen Again
For anyone interested: --- 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. --- Lynn.

[IRCA] New on RNZI - Earthquake Radio
For anyone interested: --- 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.

[IRCA] Australia Radio Heritage 5AD Adelaide
For anyone interested: --- Australian Heritage AM Radio 5AD Adelaide Kangaroo Club Advertiser Broadcasting Network There were 65,000 'Kangas' or members of the 5AD Kangaroo Club after just 14 years and they enjoyed music and much more from their Uncles and Aunts of the 5AD Advertiser Broadcasting Network during the mid-1940s according to the latest in the popular series of Long Lost Australian Radio Stars hosted by the Radio Heritage Foundation at www.radioheritage.net. Uncle Richard [Dick Moore], Uncle Charles [Charles Norton] and Aunty Peggy [Roberta Russell] are the featured personalities in this nostalgic look back at a time when thousands of young Australians were active in this very popular radio club heard over 5AD Adelaide and relay stations 5PI, 5MU and 5SE. Sporting reporters Ted Madigan, Steve McKee and Geof. Roberts also get a mention in the latest feature which brings to almost fifty the number of such features currently included in the Long Lost Australian Radio Stars series at www.radioheritage.net where an increasing amount of Australian radio heritage can now be found. If you have your own memories, memorabilia and more you'd like to share about 5AD Adelaide & the Kangaroo Club or any of the other stations featured in the 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 5AD over the years are also important and wanted because they help people understand the important community role played by 5AD over several generations.

[IRCA] New Multi-Media PNG Radio Feature
For anyone interested: --- Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.com July 18 2011 Papua New Guinea Radio Now New multi-media feature is now online A new multi-media feature about Papua New Guinea Radio in 2011 has been released by the Radio Heritage Foundation at www.radioheritage.com. The new feature 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. Based on a recent documentary broadcast on Radio New Zealand International, this new feature includes original research, photos of broadcasters, shortwave and FM studios and facilities, a downloadable audio version of the documentary, and a YouTube presentation combining audio, text and images. Few readers 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.

[IRCA] New Australian Radio Guide Released
For anyone interested: --- Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.com July 18 2011 New Australian Narrowcast Guide 1611-1701 AM A new version of the Australian Narrowcast Radio Guide 1611-1701 AM has just been released by the Radio Heritage Foundation and is available from www.radioheritage.com. Completely revised and updated, the guide covers some 70 stations currently broadcasting on the expanded AM dial across Australia. These stations, usually operating with a low transmitter power, have been a feature of the Australian radio scene for some decades. The new guide reveals that almost 40% of the stations operate on just one frequency, 1611 AM, which is just outside the standard AM dial but usually listenable on most car and domestic radio receivers. Almost 30% of the stations are also operated by just one broadcaster, Rete Italia, which has been expanding use of the narrowcast dial for its services in the Italian language. Other broadcasters heard include the Vision Radio Network, several country music networks, Arabic, Greek, Chinese and other ethnic stations and several local stations such as the new 2GW in Sydney's Greater West on 1611 AM and relays for Far North Queensland's 4KZ.

[IRCA] Pacific Pubcasters Seek Foreign Aid
For anyone interested: --- Media Release www.radioheritage.com July 24 2011 Pacific Pubcasters Seek Foreign Aid ___ A group of public broadcasters in the South Pacific have joined forces with a key aim of co-ordinating their requests for foreign aid reports the Radio Heritage Foundation. The Pacific Association of Public Service Broadcasters was set up earlier this month at a meeting in Vanuatu and brings together NBC Papua New Guinea, SIBC Solomon Islands, TBC Tonga and VBTC Vanuatu. According to one report, one of their main objectives is to collaborate on requests to foreign countries and aid agencies for money to fund digital broadcasting, new equipment, staff training, infrastructure and much more. No information was made available on what their current combined budgets amount to, what commitments their own governments are making to support their future broadcasting plans from domestic resources and how much foreign aid money has already been poured into the four broadcasters in the past two decades. All four broadcasters are facing increased competition from local commercial stations and losing market share of local listeners. These local commercial stations fund themselves by raising capital from shareholders and selling advertising. The four partners have started their efforts by signing a Friendship & Co-operation Agreement, and are now busy drafting the constitution, regulations and policies of their new organization. "The challenges faced by the four Pacific pubcasters reflect those of fellow public service broadcasters in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA, where tough economic conditions have already frozen or reduced budgets" says Radio Heritage Foundation chairman, David Ricquish. They also face common issues of increased competition from digital and internet broadcasting platforms and essentially, no longer operate just within their national borders. Their regulatory structures no longer offer as much protection from competition as before. "Expect their increased requests for foreign aid to be met by a closer look at their efficiency, their governance and whether or not their programs and services continue to meet contemporary listener expectations and needs" adds Mr Ricquish. If potential Chinese 'soft loans' for these pubcasters will be accompanied by more than a cursory look at these issues remains to be seen. "Whether there remains a role for pubcasters in these relatively small Pacific economies and if there is, what it might be and how best to resource it, is one key issue now confronting these PAPSB members" concludes Mr Ricquish. The Radio Heritage Foundation says it's good to see them taking a collective approach to these challenges, and some responsibility for their own futures. _ Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit cultural organization connecting popular culture, nostalgia and radio heritage. It's global website is www.radioheritage.com which offers free community access to contemporary radio guides covering the Asia-Pacific region and hundreds of features about radio broadcasting. Annual supporters are invited to donate US$25 or US$50 towards maintaining these free services via www.radioheritage.com. All donors are publicly acknowledged unless requesting otherwise. _ --- Lynn.

[IRCA] Radio Heritage Expands to Europe
For anyone interested: --- 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.

[IRCA] More Quirky Australian AM Radio
For anyone interested: --- 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.

[IRCA] AFRS India-Burma Memories Honored
For anyone interested: --- _ 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.

"In permanent relay with Station 2GZ", 'The Voice of the Mountains' 2KA broadcast from studios in the main street of Katoomba.

"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.

[IRCA] New Feature - Chinese Radio in 1937
For anyone interested: --- _ 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.

[IRCA] New - Early Radio in China & Japan
For anyone interested: --- 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.

[IRCA] Final Australian Radio History Series
For anyone interested: --- 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.

[IRCA] Fwd: THE HISTORY OF THE CAR RADIO
I thought some of you might find this interesting... Lynn. Lafayette, LA - Original Message Subject: THE HISTORY OF THE CAR RADIO Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:47:04 -0600 From: To: @Multiple Recipients I’m not certain that this is 100% accurate from a statistical standpoint, but whatever errors might exist aren’t major, so I’m passing it along for your information and enjoyment. Tom Car Radio, an Interesting Quincy, Illinois Story CAR TUNES Radios are so much a part of the driving experience, it seems like cars have always had them. But they didn’t. Here’s the story. SUNDOWN One evening in 1929 two young men named William Lear and Elmer Wavering drove their girlfriends to a lookout point high above the Mississippi River town of Quincy , Illinois , to watch the sunset. It was a romantic night to be sure, but one of the women observed that it would be even nicer if they could listen to music in the car. Lear and Wavering liked the idea. Both men had tinkered with radios – Lear had served as a radio operator in the U.S. Navy during World War I – and it wasn’t long before they were taking apart a home radio and trying to get it to work in a car. But it wasn’t as easy as it sounds: automobiles have ignition switches, generators, spark plugs, and other electrical equipment that generate noisy static interference, making it nearly impossible to listen to the radio when the engine was running. SIGNING ON One by one, Lear and Wavering identified and eliminated each source of electrical interference. When they finally got their radio to work, they took it to a radio convention in Chicago . There they met Paul Galvin, owner of Galvin Manufacturing Corporation. He made a product called a “battery eliminator” a device that allowed battery-powered radios to run on household AC current. But as more homes were wired for electricity, more radio manufacturers made AC-powered radios. Galvin needed a new product to manufacture. When he met Lear and Wavering at the radio convention, he found it. He believed that mass-produced, affordable car radios had the potential to become a huge business. Lear and Wavering set up shop in Galvin’s factory, and when they perfected their first radio, they installed it in his Studebaker. Then Galvin went to a local banker to apply for a loan. Thinking it might sweeten the deal, he had his men install a radio in the banker’s Packard. Good idea, but it didn’t work – half an hour after the installation, the banker’s Packard caught on fire. (They didn’t get the loan.) Galvin didn’t give up. He drove his Studebaker nearly 800 miles to Atlantic City to show off the radio at the 1930 Radio Manufacturers Association convention. Too broke to afford a booth, he parked the car outside the convention hall and cranked up the radio so that passing conventioneers could hear it. That idea worked – he got enough orders to put the radio into production. WHAT’S IN A NAME That first production model was called the 5T71. Galvin decided he needed to come up with something a little catchier. In those days many companies in the phonograph and radio businesses used the suffix “ola” for their names – Radiola, Columbi(a)ola, and Vict(o)rola were three of the biggest. Galvin decided to do the same thing, and since his radio was intended for use in a motor vehicle, he decided to call it the Motorola. But even with the name change, the radio still had problems: When Motorola went on sale in 1930, it cost about $110 uninstalled, at a time when you could buy a brand-new car for $650, and the country was sliding into the Great Depression. (By that measure, a radio for a new car would cost about $3,000 today.) In 1930 it took two men several days to put in a car radio – the dashboard had to be taken apart so that the receiver and a single speaker could be installed, and the ceiling had to be cut open to install the antenna. These early radios ran on their own batteries, not on the car battery, so holes had to be cut into the floorboard to accommodate them. The installation manual had eight complete diagrams and 28 pages of instructions. HIT THE ROAD Selling complicated car radios that cost 20 percent of the price of a brand-new car wouldn’t have been easy in the best of times, let alone during the Great Depression – Galvin lost money in 1930 and struggled for a couple of years after that. But things picked up in 1933 when Ford began offering Motorola's pre-installed at the factory. In 1934 they got another boost when Galvin struck a deal with B.F. Goodrich tire company to sell and install them in its chain of tire stores. By then the price of the radio, installation included, had dropped to $55. The Motorola car radio was off and running.

[IRCA] Fwd: Music of Your Life Returns to AM Radio
Original Message >Subject: Music of Your Life Returns to AM Radio >Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2012 11:09:12 +1300 >From: Radio Heritage Mail >Reply-To: i...@radioheritage.net >To: i...@radioheritage.net > > >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.

Re: [IRCA] (OT) Spam
Actually, I do, or rather, did, at my office. Oddly enough, just this past week, my office PC was hit by a virus. That PC was about 9 years old - yes, I should have been more vocal about rotating it out and getting a newer machine, but frankly, with all the budget cuts the university has had in the past few years, as long as the thing still worked, I don't think it was going to be rotated out any time soon! My administrator account was fine, only my personal account appeared to be affected, but the entire computer was rendered useless by yet another virus, brought in by the first, I was told. As I understand it, the version of the Windows OS I use at home is slightly different from the one used at my office, and there really isn't a way to use multiple accounts on this computer without changing some things.

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.

[IRCA] Fwd: New on RNZI - Australian Radio 1922
For anyone interested: Lynn. Lafayette, LA Original Message Subject: New on RNZI - Australian Radio 1922 Date: Sun, 19 Feb 2012 12:42:13 +1300 From: Radio Heritage Mail Reply-To: i...@radioheritage.net To: i...@radioheritage.net 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.
