Book Description
Although twenty-four years have elapsed since the British Broadcasting Company began its daily programmes from Savoy Hill, there is still no up-to-date reference book concerning the thousands of people connected with broadcasting. For this reason alone " Radio Who's Who " will prove invaluable to theatrical and film producers, as well as radio and television producers, artists' booking agencies and radio journalists. And it is hoped that, as well as being a useful reference book, it will also prove readable and entertaining to listeners and fans. Everything possible has been done to eliminate errors and, as the biographical details have been supplied in nearly every case by the persons concerned, readers may be reasonably confident of their factual accuracy. The style in many cases is intentionally informal-thus helping to preserve the individuality of style of those whose biographies are included. More important than any possible minor inaccuracy will be the omissions inevitable in a pioneer volume-some of them due to the rapid expansion of radio during war years. That they are mainly the result of failure to contact the people concerned further stresses the need for a radio reference book. Apologies are offered to all such people and their co-operation in rectifying omissions in subsequent editions will be welcomed...

Book Description
Founded in 1922, the British Broadcasting Corporation is probably the most well-known national radio corporation in the world, but the BBC is just part of the British radio picture. There are 'pirate' radio stations, community radio, commercial radio, and more recently, experimentation and development in the digital arena. All aspects of the 85 years of UK radio, from issues of regulation to the role played by commercial operators prior to World War II, are covered in this new book by SeOn Street. The A to Z of British Radio relates the history of this medium through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and several hundred cross-referenced dictionary entries on the BBC and other companies, many of the specific stations, the more memorable programs and those who wrote for or appeared on them, and the administrative and technical aspects. This quick reference tool's structure and ease of navigation will have scholars, students, radio industry professionals, journalists, and critics turning to it again and again.

Book 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.

Book Description
There has been little serious attempt in Britain to deal critically and historically with the subject of radio drama. This volume of essays concentrates upon a small group of influential writers who have devoted all or part of their attention to writing plays for radio. The introduction charts the development of radio drama since its inception in the 1920s and its changing relationships with the theatre and later with television. It shows how the early ideal of broadcasting significant works of established literature and drama helped to provide a broad foundation for the growth of a body of dramatic literature which fully exploited the medium's reliance upon sound alone. Separate contributions contain full appraisals of the radio writing of Louis MacNeice, Dylan Thomas and Henry Reed, while detailed studies of particular aspects of the work of Dorothy L. Sayers, Susan Hill, Giles Cooper and Samuel Beckett explore the practical as well as the critical issues involved in the study of radio drama.
