Tauranga Village Radio on search for volunteer announcers

The iconic New Zealand Village Radio is hoping to attract some new volunteer announcers with an interest in nostalgic music to strengthen its ranks. Village Radio manager and announcer George Stewart says it relied on the efforts of 14 announcers and at times it was stretched to cover all the shifts. The vintage station has been broadcasting daily since 1984, he says, and often the roster was a juggling act with the volunteers who were mostly retired.
