First of several video editions of "Communication Across the Ocean." Dr. Zita Joyce on NZ Radio and the Survival of RDU Radio.

 

Zita Joyce, Ph.D. from the University of Auckland, and a former DeeJay at RDU Radio here at the University of Canterbury. Lecturer in Media & Comm. at U. Canterbury. Here are the main questions. For the answers, view this clip. Special thanks to producer Rob Stowell, University of Canterbury Video Production Coordinator.

1. Native Cantabrian?

2. You’re an ex-radio Deejay. How did you develop an interest in radio?

3. What is the headline from your research on radio-spectrum allocations in NZ?

4. How well does non-commercial and educational broadcasting fare in NZ?

5. What is RDU radio and how did it survive the Canterbury earthquakes of 2010 and 2011?

Why does RDU call itself the “only true alternative”? (Reminiscent of RSU Radio)
