    4 V4 01 - / 33. The B.B.C. Tear-Book 1934 The Programme rear covered by this book is from November 1st, 1932, to October 31st, 1933 THE BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION BROADCASTING HOUSE LONDON Readers unfamiliar with broadcasting will find it easier to understand the articles in this book if they bear in mind the following: - (I) The words "Simultaneous(ly) Broadcast" or "S.B." refer to the link- ing of two or more transmitters by telephone lines for the purpose of broadcast- ing the same programme; e.g. the News Bulletins are S.B. from all B.B.C. Stations. (2) The words "Outside Broadcast" or "O.B." refer to a broadcast out- side the B.B.C. studios, not necessarily out -of- doors; e.g. a concert in the Queen's Hall or the commentary on the Derby are equally outside broadcasts. (g) The B.B.C. organisation consists, roughly speaking, of a Head Office and five provincial Regions- Midland Region, North Region, Scottish Region, West Region, and Belfast. The Head Office includes the administration of the National Programmes, wherever they originate, and also the London Regional programmes. The provincial centres supply the bulk of the Regional programme broadcast from their respective Regional transmitters, although there is a con- siderable interchange of material between the various Regional services. The words "Region" or "Regional" refer throughout the book to this system of organisation.
