Abstract

This article considers the radio programme for kindergarten-aged children that the Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) launched during the Second World War and continued to broadcast until 1985. Kindergarten of the Air, thought to be the ‘first of its kind in the world’, was to inspire interest from, and similar programmes throughout, the British empire and beyond. The article examines the imperial and international broadcasting networks that enabled the exchange of ideas and initiatives within the field of educational broadcasting, and the export of one of Australia’s most successful radio initiatives, while also considering the willingness of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) to be influenced by a dominion broadcaster.

空中幼儿园:从澳大利亚到世界

本文考虑了澳大利亚广播委员会(ABC)在第二次世界大战期间推出的幼儿园儿童广播节目，并一直播放到1985年。空中幼儿园被认为是“世界上第一个”，它激发了人们的兴趣，并在整个大英帝国和其他地方建立了类似的项目。本文考察了帝国和国际广播网，这些广播网使教育广播领域的思想和倡议得以交流，并输出了澳大利亚最成功的广播倡议之一，同时还考虑了英国广播公司(BBC)受统治性广播公司影响的意愿。

期刊介绍： Radio Journal publishes critical analyses of radio and sound media across a variety of platforms, from broadcast to podcast and all in between. Articles focus on both historical and contemporary issues in sound-based journalism and media studies. We look for work that explores the production, circulation and reception of radio and creative soundwork, and encourage a wide range of international and interdisciplinary perspectives. Radio Journal welcomes scholarship from early career researchers as well as internationally renowned scholars. It also publishes reviews of recent publications in the field of radio and sound studies. Radio Journal is edited from the US and Australia and has an international scope. It is a refereed publication; all research articles undergo rigorous double-blind peer review. The editors will review other contributions. The process normally takes three months to complete.
