The RNI memories
of Michael Downing for this period The first weekend of February 1972 saw a
lot of changes on the International Service of RNI, as these extracts from my
RNI diary show: Saturday 5 February 1972 The International Service is completely
changed this evening. Programmes are as follows: 18.00 Rob Eden (International Prediction
Hit 40) 21.00 Brian McKenzie 24.00 Paul May 3.00 - 7.00 Terry Davis The Top 40 show also features the Smash
Play, DJ hitpicks and hitbound
sounds. It is announced that the programme hosted
by Brian McKenzie this evening will be hosted by one of the newsreaders in future
and the programme hosted by Paul May will be hosted
by Brian McKenzie in future weeks. The station ID has been dropped and news
is now at half past the hour with an introduction that goes "Radio Nordsee, temperature.....degrees, this is (DJ's name), RNI
news". Weather is at the top of the hour and the time signal at the top
of the hour now has only 4 pips. The strangest thing this evening is that
there is no mention of Dave Rogers or Mike Ross, but there are hitpicks for Tony Allan (last heard on RNI in August
1971) and a new DJ, Barry Martin. Also there is no mention of Kurt the
engineer in the hitpicks. News is read by Terry
Davis and Rob Eden. A mobile discotheque this evening is supposed to feature
Tony Berk and Terry Davis, but Terry is still on board
the Mebo 2. No news of the proposed new World
Service yet. Sunday 6 February 1972 No World Service, but there is a "Nordsee goes DX" programme
on shortwave at 10.00am this morning, featuring the Radio Scotland story. It
is also revealed that A J Beirens' first name is
Albert. this evening's programmes are: 18.00 Brian Mckenzie
(Hitback Show) 20.00 Rob Eden 22.00 Paul May (Cloud Nine) 24.00 - 3.00 Terry Davis "Cloud Nine" is mainly a soul
and Motown show, although Paul May includes a few other types of record.
Weather at the top of each hour seems to have been dropped already. Joost de Draaier and Terry
Davis are advertised for today's mobile discotheque, but, as with yesterday,
Terry is still on board the Mebo 2. Terry Davis
reads the news this evening. Monday 7 February 1972 Tonight's programme
schedule: 18.00 Rob Eden 21.00 Paul May 24.00 - 3.00 Brian McKenzie Terry Davis reads the news. Tuesday 8 February 1972 Programmes
are the same as yesterday. Ex-RNI news.....Stavi Merike is now presenting a lunchtime programme
on BBC Radio Brighton. Wednesday 9 February 1972 Programmes
the same as on Monday. Nothing else of interest today. Thursday 10 February 1972 Hans ten Hooge
leaves on the tender and Nico Steenbergen
returns. Latest on the World Service is that it will start on 28 February
1972. " There's quite a bit in there that, with
the benefit of hindsight, we now know more about. Dave Rogers and Mike Ross
had both been sacked by the new programme
controller, Paul May, although Mike Ross was retained as an engineer and
presented some nighttime programmes throughout
1972, before being reinstated as a full DJ in October 1972. Dave Rogers -
always one of my favourite RNI DJs - returned to
RNI in August 1972 after Paul May had left, but left again in October 1972
when John de Mol temporarily halted the International Service. Barry Martin had a hitpick
for several weeks, but never arrived on the Mebo 2.
Apparently he was Paul Kaye of Radio London. After several weeks his name was
dropped and Roger Scott was announced as a new DJ. He did join the station,
although used the name Arnold Layne whilst he was on RNI in 1972 and 1973. The World Service did make a comeback,
but not 7 days a week as had been announced and not on medium wave (apart
from the very short lived RNI 2 broadcasts on 192m after Veronica moved to
538 on 30 September 1972). Finally, the Saturday evening programme with a newsreader never materialised
either. Maybe the idea was that one of the English speaking announcers on
board at any one time would be a newsreader rather than a DJ, as the DJ programmes now lasted 3 hours rather than 2 hours. But
this soon changed - the Dutch Service was soon to be extended by an hour,
with Driemaster running from 17.00 to 19.00, and
the International Service got a one hour sponsored programme
each night at 23.00, the "Kent Request Hour". |
