- This is the first edition of the new series of Media Network Videocasts. I owe a lot to the city of Vienna and to the Austrian Shortwave Service for my start in broadcasting. In February 1974, I took part in a quiz that was running on their English service. You had to answer one question a day for a month. I did, and I won first prize. A week in Vienna courtesy of the Austrian tourist board. I went with my father - and it was truly wonderful. It was also where I decided that broadcasting sounded like a very interesting career. Two years later I was back in Vienna, freelancing for the English service.
In 1976 I also met Wolf Harranth, at that time the editor of the German language programme KurzwellenPanorama. So began a life-long friendship.
Fast forward now to the 2nd of September 2009. Austrian Radio’s shortwave service in English has long since gone, and Wolf is now leading the world’s largest Radio documentation project. It’s in a building across the road from ORF Funkhaus on the Argentinastrasse in downtown Vienna. And we have an invitation to visit.

I absolutely love the MN Vintage Vault. I think I've heard everything on there over the last few years. I look forward to seeing where Series 2 goes.
Boy, that brought back memories! I used to listen to Wolf in German when I lived in Germany. He spoke slowly enough that I could understand most of what he said. I have fond memories of Media Network, as well. for me, it was the shortest half hour in radio. I would often record it so I could listen to it at a more convenient time. Thanks for this program. It rates five thumbs up. 👍👍👍👍👍
I tried the above gmail address, but it was not recognized. Any ideas?
