Manawatu Conversations Episode 401 - Eric Bodell

Radio was once the main source of entertainment in the family home Families gathered around the radio for music, requests, and shared routines Television later disrupted this shared listening culture and changed family life Palmerston North originally had only one commercial radio station, 2ZA Non-commercial national radio later filled a gap for listeners seeking alternatives Once all radio stations operated on the AM band, now most have switched to FM. Technical staff numbers were once large and essential to daily broadcasting The arrival of private and FM radio greatly increased competition and choice Modern networking has weakened the local presence of many radio stations Civil defence emergencies revealed serious flaws in centralised broadcasting systems Low-power community FM stations proved effective in local crises Volunteer-run stations like Radio Woodville show the enduring value of local radio Most radio stations are now streaming on the internet with potentially greater coverage than FM.
