New On the Air
______________ 

A new Radio Heritage Foundation documentary looking back at how new
radio stations signed on the air in New Zealand since the 1970's can
be heard as audio on demand from RNZI for the Mailbox program of
January 25 2009 at www.rnzi.com.

Featuring many recordings of announcements and jingles, the program
includes Radio Hauraki starting its first legal broadcast on 1480, a
promotional program with rare jingles from 1XI Radio i 1590, jingles
from Radio Avon 1290, Radio Otago 1210, Radio 1XX 1240, and jingles
and announcements from several new FM stations in Hamilton and
Whangarei as well as a zany wake up special from long time DJ Muzza
Inglis on a long gone Auckland FM station.

The program explores how early private radio in New Zealand promised
to serve local communities, and connects these lofty ideals with the
new BIG 106.2 FM local FM station that recently began serving
Auckland City. It also draws heavily on private radio archives to
which the Radio Heritage Foundation now increasingly has access.

Listeners will also enjoy visiting www.radioheritage.net to see the
very popular article 'NZ Radio Dial 1978' that features many of the
stations in the documentary, with logos, station lists and expert
commentary on the Kiwi radio scene that year. 

'New On the Air' is part of the ongoing Kiwi Radio Campaign
undertaken by the Radio Heritage Foundation that has now rescued
thousands of items of radio ephemera from around the country. 

The Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization
connecting radio heritage and popular culture across the Pacific.
Visit www.radioheritage.net to see hundreds of articles, photos and
much more, including the popular Pacific Asian Log Radio Guides and
the NZ Low Power FM Radio Guide.

You can support the radio heritage programs of the Radio Heritage
Foundation by donations, materials, radio memorabilia and ephemera,
and your time and goodwill. These are challenging times financially
for all heritage preservation projects, and your donation will help
save our radio heritage.
