From 5 August 2024, patrons can immerse themselves in a retro-themed pop-up, modelled after a radio studio. Located at Chinatown Point’s Indoor Atrium, Level 1, Rediscover Rediffusion takes visitors down memory lane, to learn more about Singapore’s first commercial and cable-transmitted radio station which started broadcasting 75 years ago in Singapore in 1949. A specially curated selection of Mandarin and Chinese dialect Rediffusion programmes and photographs from the National Archives of Singapore (NAS) collection will also be featured.
From the ‘50s to ’70s, the station’s Chinese dialect programmes enjoyed a strong following, and many coffee shops and households were fitted with Rediffusion sets. Visitors at the main booth will be treated to renowned Cantonese storyteller, Lee Dai Soh’s telling of the popular Chinese classic, Journey to the West, which will be fondly recalled today by many seniors.
