- In Episode 1 we visited the largest international radio archive on the planet. That was in September 2009. I kept in touch with its curator Wolf Harranth on and off, while my own career took an entirely different direction. But in May 2018 work took me to Linz in Upper Austria and being so close, I looked up Wolf again. A lot had changed and at the time of recording this episode, the entire future of the collection was uncertain. Their address had changed. They were now in the industrial part of Vienna where the Austrian Radio and TV, the ORF, keeps its logistics warehouse. So, for what seemed the last time, I met up with Professor Wolf Harranth for another installment of unique international broadcasting history.

Great story and ending. I listen to media network a lot - just as I did when I was 12 :) thank you Jonathan for your massive contribution to the world of radio of the world.
Thankfully I was able to visit the amazing aerial system of Radio Netherlands on shortwave and the nearby medium wave masts of 1008 KHz.How sad that they too have now been demolished.
I always listend to you Jonathan on Radio Netherlands.73 Ian G7HFS/PA3IKH
Thanks Ian. Glad to have you along then - and now.
@@JonathanMarks thank you.A fascinating video and yes regarding the demolition of these masts I also never quite understand why people watching actually applaud? I would have shed a few tears if I had witnessed it.
Really a great ending. Quite interesting.
Yes, the ending is important.
Very interesting for the niche enthusiast but far too long otherwise (I would have really liked 15-20 minutes of edited highlights). I skipped through much of it but was very pleased to catch the ending.
JM - I would be very interested to see a video treatment (such as yours) of the Radio Society of Great Britain - i.e. their HQ at Bletchley Park - www.nationalradiocentre.com/ . Could this be on your radar? Or maybe the historic Droitwich transmitter?
Wolf is never going to tell these stories again, so these early programmes are simply a public record. Yes, there is a fast forward button. But if we don't capture this now, then nothing will be left to edit from in the future. Stay safe.
Just a few days before his 80th birthday Wolf Harranth passed away.

So sorry to hear this news. He was a genius, a brilliant historian with an eye for detail and a great friend through out my broadcast career. Glad I was able to document so much on these videos. RIP Wolf.
