Prognosis Show

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Prognosis Show was a Progressive Rock radio show hosted by Richard Stockwell which aired on Contact 89 FM, a student radio station based at the University of Waikato in Hamilton, New Zealand. It occupied the 10pm to Midnight slot on Saturday nights from around August 1996 to February 1997. The title 'Prognosis' was derived from the obvious medical term and from the genre Progressive Rock but it also featured many other genres including Space music, Krautrock, Psychedelic music, Electronic Music and Experimental Music.

Contact FM was going through great change during the period that the Prognosis Show aired and eventually Contact adopted a much more commercial format. This resulting in the dropping of many popular 'alternative' shows, including the Prognosis Show.
