[Swprograms] Border Radio: The Great Big Jukebox in the Sky

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

Between the 1930s through the 1960s [sic], mega-watt "border blaster" stations
set up just across the Mexican border to evade U.S. broadcast regulations, and
beamed programming across the United States and as far away as Europe. For the
first time, American listeners heard race music, rhythm and blues, and a
diverse span of music from hillbilly to gospel that carried the voices and
sounds of Mexico and the Southwest to a vast audience. Best of Public Radio
brings you: Border Radio: The Great Big Jukebox in the Sky: An hour-long music
special on the story of Border Radio. Lots of good toe tapping music from
hillbilly, western swing, Mexican conjunto and contemporary, rhythm and blues,
and good ole rock and roll.

This is webcast at 16-17 UT Sunday July 16 on KUT, http://www.kut.org
and is a separate show from the one repeated last week, 
Border Blasters and Outlaw Broadcasters
