Synopsis
Working in a radio and television station can be intense, but exciting and rewarding. There is never a dull moment working in the broadcasting industry. Whether you’re a radio deejay, newsreader, producer, TV actor, designer or administrative staff, radio and television is an excellent platform for employees to express their creativity and passion.
So what was it like for Raymond Anthony Fernando who has contributed more than three decades of his working career in the industry – from the early years in the then-Radio & Television Singapore (RTS), the then-Singapore Broadcasting Corporation (SBC) and later when the station corporatised to Singapore Broadcasting Authority (SBA)?
How did Rediffusion Singapore have an impact on the author, his wife, family members, neighbours and a large part of the older generation who have always regarded Rediffusion as “family.”
ON AIR-The memories you gave to me takes you on a nostalgic trip down memory lane and revives the beautiful memories that many listeners and viewers can relate well to. The book also gives insights into the author’s continuous learning journey that has equipped him not only to stay resilient, but also given him the golden opportunity to carve out several retirement careers that include writing, training, songwriting, TV acting and public speaking.
