Media Network Vintage Vault 2018-2019

This programme examines plans for a TV station on by Roy Bates on one of the disused wartime forts in the Thames Estuary. We talk with offshore radio specialist Hans Knot (still going strong in 2012 - check out the website). You might want to skip the frequency changes at the start of the show...those were the days when Radio Netherlands had a major presence on shortwave. The programme also talks to media researcher , now teaching in Bulgaria. He'd been commissioned to look into the future of shortwave radios up to 2000 and beyond. Actually, they seem to have got quite a lot of it right.
