Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Tracy Wood, who writes about a new series featuring Gibraltar’s broadcasting history. Tracy writes:
Edition #1 launched last night celebrating 60 years of the founding of GBC.
The series’ title holds special meaning…
“Recordándote” was the name of GBC’s cross-border radio show sending family messages during the era when Franco had closed “la frontera” between Spain and Gibraltar.

Thank you, Tracy!
Episode #2 has been posted at the GBC website. This edition focuses on the cross-border radio broadcasts as well as TV productions during the 1960’s and 1970’s.

As a history buff this was an interesting episode. A pity there was none archival footage at all, they simply did not record anything back then.
