1100 One Watt Wonders
The Kiwi Low Power FM Story

On June 25 2007, Radio New Zealand International features a new Radio
Heritage documentary during the Mailbox program and it's available as
a podcast for two weeks at www.rnzi.com.

In New Zealand, a legal right to broadcast on over 10 nationwide FM
channels exists so long as a few simple rules are observed. Since
1991, some 1100 such Low Power FM stations have broadcast, nearly 200
in Auckland alone.

There's a station called 'Mountains, Moo Cows and Mud 88.2 FM'  run by
school children, another called Splat FM, TLC The Little Country
Radio, Radio Austral de Nueva Zelanda, Urban Breaks, The Wedge, Human
FM, Red Dot Robot FM and hundreds more reflecting individual and
community tastes from big cities to small settlements.

All reflect the tremendous passion for radio coming from all age
groups, with music from rap to reggae, nostalgia to rock, jazz to
trance dance and everything in between - all in a nation that some
claim is already over radioed!

Proving that radio comes alive from the grassroots and where even 14
year olds can follow a dream and begin broadcasting to their town -
from their own radio station - this documentary brings you the story
of Kiwi LPFM and some great sounds as LPFM owners step up to the
microphone.

Mailbox is broadcast via shortwave by RNZI [full program schedules and
times at www.rnzi.com] and is also available by on demand podcast.
Look for 'more audio' and click on 'Mailbox' for June 25.
