On 1 May 1950, the first commercial radio station in South Africa, Springbok Radio took to the airwaves broadcasting in both English and Afrikaans. This followed almost 5 years of intense investigation by the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) and after consultations with both Lord Reith of the BBC and the South African Government it was decided to introduce commercial radio in South Africa to supplement the SABC’s existing public service English and Afrikaans networks.
Just imagine the BBC in Johannesburg.
And soon was born Castle Playhouse, later to become Playhouse 90 – “… from the stages and studios, producers and playwrights of the world …” Comedy, Drama, Mystery, Suspense…
,,,and Springbok Theater of the Air – Comedy, Drama, Mystery, Suspense
…and Drama International – Comedy, Drama, Mystery and Suspense from around the globe…
