Greetings all,
Greetings all, a Happy New Year to you, and, if it's relevant, a Merry Xmas.
Looks like the forecasters at the Met Office may have an idea of what's in store for the summer when we are told it's going to be hot. We are still a month from the end of the year and day time temperatures are spending alot of time in the upper 20s. I give out a forecast from Met Service at 5 pm and 9 pm, but you should be aware that this is given to you for its entertainment value only. It rarely bears any relation to the weather we get in Hampden. C'est la vie.
Here's a look at what I intend to broadcast over our summer. There's a varied diet here from Joanna Trollope to the Lusitania to Westminster Abbey, and as usual, Tony Hancock. After this 13 week period there's only a dozen or so Hancock's Half Hour episodes left. Then I think we'll listen to some episodes of "I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again".
There may be occasions when I am unable to make it to the Studio. **Fortunately this has occurred so far only a couple of times. When (if) this happens, some other staff from the station may fill in the gap and keep playing a similar programme to mine. Any serials that were due to be played will have the relevant episodes played ASAP when I am able. I do not wish to get behind with the serials, so I'll be playing double episodes to catch up.
** This happened at the end of October when I found myself incapacitated and hospitalised. It may occur again soon as I intend to take a rush trip to the North Island, but as you all know, recent earthquake activity has meant rushed trips may be much longer than expected.

Kia ora,
I don't normally find it necessary to post an intermediate note between my regular 13 week posts. But, a couple of anomalies have arisen in the previously published programme notes for Sept-December, 2016
Firstly, I left a cassette at home. At the studio I found I had no "A Horse and His Boy" with me to play in the 5.30pm slot. It was to be heard over 4 weeks. So I have substituted 4 stories of "Thomas The Tank Engine" read by Johnny Morris. I had a cassette of this at the studio for 'just in case' reasons. "A Horse and His Boy" by C S Lewis, will be heard at a later date.
Secondly, I miscalculated the Bob Geldof book, "Geldof In Africa" at some stage and there are now only 24 readings instead of the previously scheduled 27. So instead, on the 3 weeks after the last Geldof reading, we'll hear each Tuesday (at 9pm) one Act of a 3 Act radio play entitled "The Scarlet Pimpernel". This is an adaptation from the famous book by Baroness Emma Orczy.
I hope these changes meet with your approval, dear listener.
Trevor

Greetings Listeners,
One of our presenters on Oamaru Heritage Radio retired last month and was promptly given a Waitaki Citizens' Award by the Mayor of the Waitaki District Council for his good works. Well done Ron Harris, the breakfast session man.
Our studio is at 6 Itchen Street in Oamaru, and anytime you are down that end of town and you see the door open, drop in. Say Hullo to the presenter on duty. Have a good look around - there's quite a bit of interesting stuff on display there.
Here's another 13 week schedule.
Biggles has concluded, and Bob Geldof's Africa will finish during this term. The book to follow Geldof is Seasons Of My Life, by Hannah Hauxwell.
Hancock is still with us at 6 pm, and I think that after the term of this schedule, I'll be able to come up with some Christmas editions of Hancock.
Good listening!

Greetings.
The programme for Tuesday evenings, June, July, August 2016 is presented below.
A while back I played the G & S opera Princess Ida, not realising it was on 4, not 2 sides of an LP. I've been unable to locate sides 3 and 4. If anyone has this LP and would lend it to me, I (and probably my listeners) would be most grateful. We could then bring Princess Ida to a satisfactory conclusion.
During the next 3 months, the basic programme continues; that is at 5.30 the Biggles serial is played; at 6 we have Hancocks Half Hour starring the lad himself; and at 9 we carry on with Geldof in Africa.
Biggles finishes towards the end of August and the 5.30 slot will be used for children's stories and songs.
At around 5.25 I read out the newsletter from Hampden School if there is one to hand. Some weeks there's not. And sometimes around this time, I put in a short story
Note that Bob Geldof, while reading from his book, will use language unbecoming of Oamaru Heritage Radio. I can't do anything about the language, except warn listeners that the reading may contain it.
The 7.30 slot "Concert Piece" will feature:- Paint your Wagon, Scherezade, Cinderella, a Mozart concerto, a Vivaldi concerto, Grieg's symhonic pieces, a stage play by Frank Loesser, popular classical piano tunes for 3 hands, music by Sibelius and Shostakovich, a programme of waltzes, a programme of ballet, show pieces for orchestra and a Haydn symphony. There's something there for everyone.
Remember that anyone may become a presenter on Oamaru Heritage Radio. If you have a love of heritage music or other broadcastable material and want to share you enthusiasm, then get in touch with the station and find out the details of what it takes. Tuition in voice and equipment is given.
Should you notice that the Moeraki transmitter is off the air, then give the station a ring. It can't be picked up in Oamaru, so the Moeraki transmitter is not monitored. OHR's hone number ir 434036two. Please do not ring while I am on air, as being deaf, I am unable to use a telephone. Therefore you call will be unanswered.
Oamaru Heritage Radio, Tuesdays’ programmes in advance
Oamaru 88.3 & Hampden/Moeraki 107 fm. Tuesday evening, 4pm to 10pm. Updates and alterations will be posted here For details on how to get us on internet and listen through your Pc, send an email to ohr at xtra.co.nz

March to May, 2016: The 5.30 slot for younger ears is taken up with a story from the Biggles series by Capt WE Johns. Recent comments about these stories accuse the author of sexism, racism, facism and probably a few other 'isms' as well. However, let us not forget that we are a "Heritage" radio station, and programmes such as Biggles form part of our heritage, do they not?. I have been known to play cigarette comercials. We grew up in a world where it was smart to be a smoker - even if a few of us didn't fall for the tobacco hype and abstained from this weed.
A change in broadcasting standards in recent years has seen an influx of language that would never be heard in times gone by. The new book reading by Bob Geldof called 'Geldof in Africa' contains language I don't approve of, but by today's standards, is acceptable. I have been in touch with the Broadcasting Standards Authority about this, and their response is that it's ok to play this material, but advisable to make a warning before playing. I guess this is heritage stuff in the making.
Be Warned.

Friday, February 12, 2016
Just putting together the programme for the 13 weeks after the current schedule expires.
The Navy Lark series I've been playing at 6 pm came to me in 2 packets. I played the last episode of the first series last Tuesday (Feb 9th) and decided we'll take a break from this programme for a while rather than commence series 2 (which is about another 80 episodes long).
So, instead I'm going to play some episodes of Hancock's Half Hour. These feature the Lad himself, Sid James, Bill Kerr and one of Hattie Jaques, Andree Melee, or Moira Lister, and were first broadcast in the late 50s early 60s..
On Feb 16th the episode of Hancock is called "The Idol", on the 23rd it's "The New Car" and on March 1st it is "Cinderella Hancock". The full list of episodes will go up within a week or 2 when I publish the programme schedule up early June.
I read in the Oamaru weekly news-sheet 'The Telegram' that our transmitter at Moeraki has been re-instated. This is good news for local residents, but I can't figure out why neither I nor the local newspaper, the "Hamraki Rag" was notified. The transmitting frequency is still 107.0 fm.
Stay Tuned!
