Springbok Radio, a former radio station of the South African
Broadcasting Corporation
in South Africa, closed its transmission at the end of 1985. It was the first
commercial radio station of the SABC.
During the time
of 1950 -1985 there was no dedicated effort to collect all the radio programmes
for archives, and most of the programmes were recorded over one another to save
resources, which was mostly in the format of reel-to-reel tapes.
The SABC Radio Archives have found some of these recorded gems in the archives,
but it was only by the passion of the listeners that a large collection of the
Springbok Radio material was saved.
