This paper is designated as a micro-historical study and oral history based on the memories and reminiscences between the 1940s and the 1960s that the four prominent announcers have had through the period of early broadcasting under the Japanese colonial rule, the early period of Korean broadcasting and the period of early radio and television. It was witnessed through these years that early announcers had been the communicator of last-minute broadcasting, and also partly the producers of broadcasting. In the meantime, they were the major public stars and important social celebrities of this historical period. It is suggested that this study contributes to bring the real voices of the past to the official history of early broadcasting in Korea.
