Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision has announced the launch of Te Reo Pāpāho, an exhibition that profiles the broadcasters who have championed te reo Māori on radio. Te Reo Pāpāho covers the early days of radio, when most recordings consisted of entertainment items, through the 1940s, when the first regular, fully te reo radio programmes, began and on to the Māori cultural renaissance of the 1970s and the push for more Māori language programmes.
