E p i s o d e 6 : I n A r c a d i a

 
Raw FM's plot Hitz FM's reality
A very different episode of Raw FM, which is not surprising when you consider there were different directors and writers for each one!    

It centres on Gerry.. Raw's upstairs tenant.. the "internut" who avoids people and talks to cyberpals overseas.    

Meanwhile, downstairs, Granger starts accusing everyone of stealing his ATM card. There's money missing- that's supposed to fund Raw's broadcast, and people suspect hackers may be responsible.    

Gerry asks her cyber-girlfriend "Ruthy" to help break into the bank's computers. The guys are all gung-ho to meet the 'money kidnappers', and almost get arrested for their hacking... things are even worse for Gerry, who's cyber-babe turns out to be an ugly bloke with a one-track mind..     -and a dangerous one-track plan!

The internet's mainstream appearance in Australia in 1995/1996 was 2 years after the first 3 broadcasts of Hitz FM. It was these 3 test transmissions that seemed to have 'loosely inspired' Raw FM.   

Episode 6 of Raw showed the precarious financial position that stations such as Hitz found themselves in, before (if ever) they build up enough funds to operate well.   

Hitz FM's first studio was in a small office in a school, with CDs and CD players   
from home, and electrical equipment borrowed from other schools.   

Initially, most of Hitz's finances came from the members' own pockets,   
in the same way Granger made a large financial contribution to Raw.  

Hitz did their own 'tin shake' to fundraise before the station's 2nd broadcast.
