Blue Danube Network - AFN Austria 1955
Blue Danube Network in Austria. BDN was initiated shortly after World War II, and the first station went into operation in Salzburg July 10, 1945.
The unit opened its first permanent station in Salzburg under the call letters KZCA. The Salzburg station was followed by BDN Vienna, when the capital city became the command's headquarters. Next came the Linz outley, thus creating a trio of stations spread across Austria.
The quality and originality of BDN production increased gradually and soon augmented AFRS "canned" shows. Two of the original productions were "Hospital Request Show" and "Man On The Street."
Located At Klessheim
When USFA Hq moved from Vienna to Salzburg in 1950, BDN Salzburg became the main station. In 1955 BDN was shut down as the Americans were asked to leave Austria.
Here's a variety of airchecks and interviews about BDN

Russian Roulette with a Sugar Cube 1966
By the mid 60s drugs were being an issue and the information crew of AFRTS wanted to get the truth out about LSD. It's an interesting show.

Roger Carroll - 1981
I always find it special to transfer a disk that I would have run at the station. In 1981 I was at SCN, did the cleverly titled "Morning Show", played Charlie Tuna then Roger Carroll. RC brings us straight back to a Friday in 1981. It really is the best sounds in town....
