New Radio Heritage Documentary now at RNZI
Baby Boomer Radio - the Radio Revolution!
------------------------------------------


>From the Radio Heritage Foundation [www.radioheritage.net], the
latest in our 
series of radio heritage documentaries now available at RNZI
[www.rnzi.com].


In 1966, 'pirate' Radio Hauraki began a radio revolution in New
Zealand. It 
resulted in the overturning of the state broadcasting monopoly.
Founder David 
Gapes said later 'The message from the people to the State was clear.
GET WITH 
IT, OR GET OUT.'


You'll hear the first broadcast from '1480 Top of the Dial', original
ID 
jingles, commercials and some of the top Kiwi pop music of the era.
You'll also 
hear how state radio changed to meet the Radio Hauraki challenge,
more jingles 
and more great Kiwi music.


It's not just about 'free radio' or 'pirate' broadcasting. This was a
full out 
assault on state control by the young baby boomers of the 1960's. The 
documentary places the radio revolution in social and historic
context, and 
celebrates their ultimate success.


Again, quoting founder David Gapes, 'The government finally chose to
get with 
it, and our lives are the better for it'.
