Radio Week was a bilingual, weekly magazine produced by the South African Broadcasting Corporation in Cape Town.
History
Radio Week was a bilingual, weekly magazine produced by the South African Broadcasting Corporation in Cape Town. to advertise the radio highlights of the week, was registered at the GPO as a newspaper and sold for 3 pennies (also called a "tickey," thruppence or written as 3d).
Vol 1, No 1,was launched on Friday, 26th October, 1945, just eight weeks after World War 2 ended on September 2. This was quite remarkable when considering the worldwide shortage of paper since South Africa was totally dependent on Britain for her paper supply. After the Germans occupied Norway, the world's major supplier of wood pulp, Britain's supply was drastically curtailed and it was not till the end of the war when supplies slowly started returning to normal.
