Historical Dictionary of British Radio Hardback
by Sean Street
Part of the Historical Dictionaries of Literature and the Arts series
Hardback
Description
The story of British radio begins long before the birth of the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) in 1922.
This book aims to tell this story through its component parts: the makers, the programs, and the policies that together shaped the development of a system of broadcasting, grounded initially in a public service ethic, and subsequently struggling toward an, at times, uneasy balance of public and commercial radio.
The last ten years of UK radio history have contained more drama, change and development than in all its previous history. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of British Radio covers its history through a chronology, an introductory essay, and an extensive bibliography.
The dictionary section has over 800 cross-referenced entries on issues, characters, movements and policies that have shaped radio in the United Kingdom.
This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about British Radio.
