RADIO ANDRES BELLO
Issuer emblematic golden era Chilean radiotelephony.
Its founder and director, Jimmy Brown, was a real "Don Quixote" keeping for 40 years, his desire to spread the true values \u200b\u200band culture of music learned.
The station began broadcasting on November 7, 1959, as CB 64 640 kHz frequency, long wave. Later in 1962 the frequency was changed to CB 125 and in 1973 a new change and CB 130. Since 1964 Andrés Bello Radio Frequency Modulated parallel broadcast in Santiago, Chile, and a relay branch, Radio Intermezzo in Viña del Mar.
Radio Andrés Bello noted for their program eminently selected, which included daily 14 hours of concerts, a complete opera, intermediate orchestrated music selection, and two micro Chilean folk music programs. Moreover, the station said in the way of advertising, no jingles, no voices from outside the station. Thus, in addition to Jimmy Brown, Radio Andrés Bello had very few, but very eminent professionals from the microphone as they were Hernan Belmar, Oscar Fock, Sergio Silva, Javier Miranda, whose utterances were always recorded.
conservative style Andrés Bello Radio auditors earned her faithful and unconditional, but in recent years this style was not supported by advertising companies, which required forms and schedules in line with modern times. Thus, without the auspices necessary for funding, the station stopped broadcasting on March 6, 1999.
Meanwhile Jimmy Brown, (James Morris, his real name), born in Valparaiso, started as an announcer on September 5, 1935 on Radio Metro in Viña del Mar. In 1945 he moved to Santiago to work on several radio stations before founding his own. Thus faced the microphones radios Cervantes, El Mercurio, Bulnes, The Queen, which aired its program "The Alegre Despertar", which continued broadcasting by Radio Andres Bello. Interestingly this was the only live show, with initiating the daily transmission broke the staid seal that kept the station during the day.
In fairness it must be remembered Ibatulin Naletova Ludmila, member of Jimmy Brown, in charge of music programming. Anecdotally
