Country Calendar celebrates its 60th

From Culture 101, 1:11 pm today

New Zealand's longest running television programme turns 60. Since its first broadcast in 1966, Country Calendar has chronicled rural life across Aotearoa and become one of the most recognisable programmes on local television. Producer and narrator Dan Henry reflects on the legacy of the series, the changes in storytelling over the decades, and how the team continues to find new rural stories to bring to screen.
