Abstract

Nablus's first radio station--the second in the Palestinian territories--was founded in 1997 as a mostly music broadcasting venue. This personal account by TMFM's founder/manager describes its evolution--mainly under the impact of the intifada--into a diversified community-oriented station that became an important information conduit for Palestinians confined to their homes during frequent curfews. While describing the station's tribulations and struggles to survive--including the studio's shelling and Israeli confiscation of transmitters and equipment--a picture emerges of a town's daily life under extreme conditions.

Retired BBC senior executive Phil Sidey experiences a mixture of pleasure and regret when he recalls his days as head of Radio Leeds, the most important of the eight local radio stations pioneered by the BBC in 1968. Sidey had been promised a free hand during the initial two-year experiment in community local radio, but he had no particular master plan. However, Radio Leeds' desire not to be seen as monolithic allowed large numbers of ordinary local people to become involved in the experiment. Radio Leeds pioneered the radio phone-in, an invention which Sidey now believes in 'grossly overdone.'
