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.
