On Air : Untold stories from Caldecott Hill

This collection of 51 essays contains rich memories by the pioneers of Singapore’s early media at their broadcasting station at Caldecott Hill.



On Air captures the breadth and depth of life-long experiences of broadcasters over 82 years on the Hill; from the founding of the British Malayan Broadcasting Corporation in 1936 to Radio and Television Singapore (RTS) to Singapore Broadcasting Corporation (SBC), and finally to what is today Mediacorp.



In this book, the authors have recorded many decades worth of work experience and have shared untold stories – from the Japanese Occupation of Caldecott Hill, to the changing faces of broadcasting to the move to Mediapolis at North Buona Vista in 2017.



Illustrated with rare, archival photographs, many not seen before, On Air is the first of its kind that gives an insight into the work of the public faces that graced our television screens and traces the development of broadcasting in Singapore.
