Springbok Radio was the first commercial radio station of South Africa. It closed down in 1985, but not before broadcasting memorable content that stays until today with several generations of South Africans.
From The Adventure of Jet Jungle, a programme for children, to the police drama Squad Cars and many other dramas, soap operas, game shows, documentaries and comedy shows, brought to the public through the voices of legendary radio personalities and presenters, this radio station's programming is part of South African history.
In 2008, Springbok Radio Preservation Society Archive together with SABC Radio Archives started working together to keep this legacy alive by restoring and preserving these old broadcasts. The result was the launch of Springbook Radio Revisited in that same year, an online radio station where the restored programmes are streamed.
