Radio Waves - First Episode

Radio Waves revolves around a 1970s Auckland radio station awash with lustful and assertive males. As the first episode opens, drive time DJ Win Savage (Grant Bridger) insults an advertiser on-air, while Andy Anderson plays a hippy jock who raves about connecting. Alan Dale (Ugly Betty) makes his TV debut as station manager Jack. The many women on staff — including new arrival Jess (Jacqui Dunn) and real life author Frances Edmond — snipe and try to do some work amidst all the ego. The show was short-lived, but its urban setting and big city go-getters signaled a changing face for Kiwi TV drama.
