From News (Adelaide, SA : 1923 - 1954), Thursday 15 July 1937
THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL (SENATOR McLACHLAN) pressing the button of the giant press to start the run of "Radio Call," South Australia's only broadcasting paper. A few minutes later newsboys were selling the new paper in the city streets.
It is only a week since the first announcement of the intention of "The News" and "The Mail" to publish this paper was made. yet the orders which have poured in to newsagents and to the circulation manager exceeded the most sanguine anticipations. "Radio Call" is a paper devoted primarily to the needs cf listeners. Complete programmes are given in an easily read type. and there are articles about personalities in South Australian. Australian, and overseas broadcasting. Short-wave listeners are catered for by notes written by an expert, and by programmes of overseas stations that can be picked up in Adelaide. An important new service for radio-set owners is the establishment by "Radio Call" of a department of technical experts who will advise listeners, in city and country, how to detect faults in their sets and make improvements to obiain the best possible reception from all broadcastinc stations. A regular feature that should be of great value to listeners is discussion by musical and dramatic writers of programmes for the current week, and also of features which will be heard in the near future. Every broadcasting station in South Australia has connected with it a strong children's club. "Radio Call" will devote a considerable portion of: its space to the doings of these clubs. The general reader is not forgotten. in this week's issue there is a serial story, two short stories, and a number of articles of general interest. "Radio Call" will be more than merely a broadcasting paper, important as that function is. It will also supply entertainment for general readers.
