new night life on Niue
THREE hundred cheap Japanese transistor radios imported by the Niue Government went on sale to the island’s public in late January.
They were imported so that the Niue people can listen to Niue’s new broadcasting station ZK2ZN. A batch of 200 cheap radios some months ago sold out immediately, and there was a waiting list for the new ship ment.
Cheap radios and ZK2ZN have made a difference to village evening life on Niue. Formerly, in the early evening, small family groups could be seen huddled around gasoline lanterns having their evening meal; then the lights would be extinguished and the villages would be quiet, ZK2ZN has added two hours to the night and its programme now can be heard in most houses.
