Tim Dodd presents a special edition of New Horizons to pay tribute to the man who has hosted the programme for 45 years.
We hear from several who speak about William's unique contribution to music and radio in Aotearoa: artists Charlotte Yates, Dudley Benson, Jan Hellriegel, Plan 9, Bryce Galloway, Matthew Bannister, Graeme Downes & Shayne Carter, fellow music commentators Nick Bollinger & Chris Bourke, and RNZ production staff who helped put the programme together over the years, Barry Hartley and David McCaw.
