Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.com January 29 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.com and is one of a growing number of
new Popular Culture features produced by the Radio Heritage
Foundation. ****************************************************
