RNZI Airs New Radio Heritage
Documentary
Papua New Guinea Radio
75 Years On the Air
____________________________



Join us from Monday June 14 2010 when we air our new radio heritage
documentary about Papua New Guinea Radio on the Mailbox program from
Radio New Zealand International.

It's 75 years this year since 4PM Port Moresby began its first
commercial broadcasts to the largely unexplored territory of Papua
New Guinea.

We take a look back at those early days, soon to be followed by an
amazing variety of radio stations that filled the airwaves over the
following decade.

You can listen directly via shortwave or audio on demand [for the
following month] with full details of broadcast frequencies and times
for your area and audio downloads at www.rnzi.com.

You'll hear about the Armed Forces Radio Jungle Network, the
Australian Army Amenities Service network, propaganda broadcasts from
Rabaul, the shared command station 9PA and more about the signals on
the airwaves of the mountains, islands, and jungles of this scattered
archipelago in the south-west Pacific.

Just how do you go about broadcasting to the home of several thousand
local dialects and languages when the only transport your station has
available is the truck that empties the town toilets every night.

Join David Ricquish of the Radio Heritage Foundation for a
fascinating story about early radio in Papua New Guinea and some
enjoyable local music.

You'll also find the story of the joint command station 9PA, and
guides to the AFRS Jungle Network and the Australian AAS network
stations across Papua New Guinea at www.radioheritage.net.

Use our free Pacific Asian Log Radio Guides for full details of AM
and shortwave broadcasters from around the entire region including
Papua New Guinea.

RNZI's Mailbox program from Monday June 14 via shortwave and audio on
demand with full times and schedules for your area now at
www.rnzi.com.

connecting popular culture, nostalgia and radio heritage across the
Pacific.

It's global website www.radioheritage.net offers free community
access to Pacific Radio Guides and other valuable resources.

important radio heritage preservation and information project alive.
