Kenneth Bambrick (Interviewer)

An interview with Oscar Hierlihy, conducted in St. John's, Newfoundland. Hierlihy discusses his varied career in radio, beginning by setting up his own amateur radio station in 1926, then working for Voice of Ayre and Sons (VOAS) in St. John's, the Voice of the North Atlantic (VONA), and then with the Avalon Telephone Company Station (VONF). By the late 1930s Avalon abandoned its radio station, and with it so did Hierlihy who started working in the telephone industry. By the late 1940s, until the end of his career, he was back in radio, and television, as chief engineer with CJON in St. John's. <60mn>
