RNZI Airs New Radio Heritage
Documentary
Papua New Guinea Radio 
Tension In the Air 1950's
____________________________



WELLINGTON [NZ] Join us from Monday July 26 2010 when we air our
second radio heritage documentary about Papua New Guinea Radio on the
Mailbox program from Radio New Zealand International.

In the second of our current series exploring radio in Papua New
Guinea, you'll hear about how Indonesian stations forced the
Australian administration to begin opening new local stations to
counter their propaganda broadcasts in the 1950's.

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 conflict between the ABC and the local colonial
administration, and why for many years, the local stations all
broadcast with low power and on very low shortwave frequencies.

The rush to get some stations like Radio Wewak on air was such that
proper studios and offices followed some 12 years after they went to
air.

Radio Kerema and Radio Daru were located just to the north of Far
North Queensland in northern Australia, and you'll hear why both
stations were amongst the first local stations on the air.

Just how close did the religious missions of Papua New Guinea come to
establishing a strong commercial shortwave and AM radio network in
the mid-1960's.

Join David Ricquish of the Radio Heritage Foundation for the
fascinating story of 1950's and early 1960's radio in Papua New
Guinea and some enjoyable local music.

Use our free and recently updated 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 July 26 via shortwave and audio on
demand with full times and schedules for your area now at
www.rnzi.com.
