Op 20 komt het “loflied” op de BBC binnen: Auntie, opgenomen ter gelegenheid van het 50-jarig bestaan van de “Beeb”. Chi Coltrane zien we op 49 binnen schuiven met Thunder and lightning, veel gedraaid op RNI in die tijd. Op 44 komt Elvis binnen met het mooie Burning Love. Vicky Leandros staat onveranderd op nummer 1 en het tuinfeest van Rick Nelson stijgt deze week 28 plaatsen van 41 naar 13. De treiterschijf is van Arne Jansen, echter dit nummer zal niet zo populair worden als z’n meisjes met rode haren. Peter Holland heeft ’t mooie Sweet Surrender van Bread tot Kanskaart gekozen. Ook Nico Steenbergen heeft een goeie keus gemaakt met Florida van Bolland en Bolland, de rest van de kanskaarten zijn toch redelijk onbekend gebleven.

Deze Top 50 kun je hier beluisteren:

Uur 1                          Uur 2                          Uur 3

Als toegift deze week alle platen uit de RNI playlist, de kanskaarten, de treiterschijven en twee tracks van de LP van de week in de vorm van een Top 40. De volledige playlist vind je onderaan deze pagina.

Marc van Amstel presents Ochtendeditie today. International service programmes are:

20.00 Don Allen

22.00 Brian McKenzie

24.00 Don Allen (Country’n’Western Jamboree)

2.00 Don Allen

3.00 – 7.00 Mike Ross

 

Sunday 19 November 1972

Marc van Amstel reads the Dutch service news in the morning and Dick de Graaf takes over in the afternoon. World and International service programmes today are:

10.00 Nordsee goes DX

11.00 Brian McKenzie

14.00 Mike Ross (T Rex special)

15.00 Mike Ross

17.00 Don Allen

20.00 Mike Ross (Hitback Show)

22.00 Don Allen

24.00 – 3.00 Brian McKenzie

Brian McKenzie helps to choose the winner of the hitback competition this evening. Mike Ross announces that RNI will shortly be offering monthly bulletins about the station, plus DJ photos and lifelines. Meanwhile, Don Allen says that he is the programme controller of the International service. For some reason the news at 21.00 is broadcast 11 minutes late.

 

Monday 20 November 1972

With effect from today, RNI extends its transmission time by one hour per day to 4.00am. Tonight’s programme schedule:

20.00 Mike Ross

22.00 Don Allen

1.00 – 4.00 Brian McKenzie

Mike Ross interviews the Osmonds in his show. Mike also says that they are now broadcasting with 100KW on medium wave, but the power is reduced later in the evening to allow maintenance on one of the generators. Mike Ross says that he is due to go off on shore leave for two weeks tomorrow and hopes that he will be back after that. There is a Force 7 storm this evening.

 

Tuesday 21 November 1972

There is no tender today. Marc van Amstel presents the Nico Steenbergen programme this evening, presumably because the tape has not arrived on board the Mebo 2.

 

Wednesday 22 November 1972

Still no tender today, as there is a Force 8 storm. The last hour of Driemaster features artists who will be appearing on Eddy Ready Go on television this evening.

 

Thursday 23 November 1972

Still no tender. Mike Ross says that he now does not expect to go on shore leave until next Tuesday. Lots of new records played in the Mike Ross and Don Allen shows this evening.

 

Friday 24 November 1972

Peter Holland returns from his holiday and is back on Dorsnee Noordzee today. Reception is poor this evening, as RNI is using its standby transmitter until about 22.30. Tonight’s International service programmes are:

20.00 Mike Ross (Top 30)

22.00 Don Allen

24.00 Brian McKenzie (Rock’n’roll Special)

2.00 Brian McKenzie

4.00 – 6.00 Don Allen

Don Allen starts a penpal spot in his programme at 22.45pm, which lasts for about a quarter of an hour (including the records that are played).

 

I heard lots of new records for the first time on RNI during the week 18 to 24 November 1972 that were not Kanskaarten or on the Playlist. These were:
