Description

Rediffusion's legacy in Malta remains a fascinating chapter in the country's broadcasting history. The company's cable radio relay service began operating in 1935, paving the way for regular Maltese language programmes and television in the early 1960s. For nearly forty years, Rediffusion dominated the airwaves before its monopoly came to an end in 1975. The remnants of this pioneering broadcaster still have a lasting impact on Malta's media landscape. This book offers a critical analysis of the archival resources that have survived, providing a unique insight into the history of broadcasting in Malta during the Rediffusion era. By exploring these relics, Toni Sant sheds new light on the development of broadcasting in the country and its significance in shaping Maltese culture. As the years pass, these memories are at risk of being lost forever. This book is an essential contribution to our understanding of Malta's broadcasting history, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the subject.
