This is the third and final part of one of the first sound portraits I made of Dutch broadcasting in the 1980's. It includes a profile of Radio Bloemendaal, which has retained its mediumwave licence to broadcast on 1116 kHz since it was granted by the Dutch government in 1924. A lot has changed in Hilversum since this programme series was made, but Radio Bloemendaal is still on the air every Sunday from 09-21 hrs local Dutch time (+1 UTC in winter, +2 in summer) and every Tuesday from 12-1330 hrs. The transmitter belongs to the , formerly the Dutch reformed church of Bloemendaal. Their broadcasts also go out over the . For reference, the other two parts are here. Thanks to on Twitter for pointing out that this edition was missing. Fixed now. More suggestions welcome.
