‘Keep in touch with the Dutch’:<\/h2>\n

Symposium marking the ninetieth anniversary of international radio broadcasting in the Netherlands, 1927-2017<\/h3>\n

Thursday 1 June 2017, 2-5pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Doelenzaal, Singel 425 Amsterdam<\/strong><\/p>\n

On 1 June 1927 Queen Wilhelmina officially inaugurated international radio broadcasting from the Netherlands with a speech to listeners in the Dutch colonies. This transmission attracted attention from all over the world as it was one of the first times that sound had been transmitted via radio waves across such a distance. In the decades that followed Dutch radio-makers continued to play a pioneering role in international broadcasting, experimenting with new technologies and programming formats. This symposium aims to highlight several themes from this rich history and explore source-materials in order to think about a research agenda in this field and new broadcasting techniques in the digital age.<\/p>\n
