II ABSTRACT Title: The Evolution of British Asian Radio in England: 1960 – 2004 Author: Gloria Khamkar This doctoral research examines the evolution of British Asian radio in England from 1960 to 2004. During the post-war period an Asian community started migrating to Britain to seek employment as a result of the industrial labour shortage. The BBC and the independent local radio sector tried to cater to this newly arrived migrant community through its radio output either in their mother tongue or in the English language. Later, this Asian community started its own separate radio services. This research project explores this transformation of Asian radio, from broadcasting radio programmes for the Asian community on existing radio stations, to the creation of independent local and community radio stations, catering to the Asian community exclusively in England. Existing research concentrates on the stereotype images and lack of representation of Asian community on the British radio; it lacks a comprehensive overview of the role of radio during the settlement period of the newly migrant Asian community. Hence, this research sets out to fill that gap by bringing in the significant facet of the early years’ Asian radio programming, mainly on the BBC, and the development of independent British Asian radio broadcasting in England. The main methods used to conduct this research are archives and in-depth semi-structured interviews, which have helped me to understand the relationship between the development of British Asian radio and the ongoing migration of the Asian community in England. This research provides a fresh and strong dimension of British Asian radio services in England. It confirms that the issues of access, participation, representation, integration, and linguistic expression were identified, discussed and acted upon by British and Asian radio enthusiasts, radio campaigners and Asian community groups since the 1960s, which led to the creation of British Asian radio in England. I believe this research will bring forth the importance and relevance of having British Asian radio services in England. III ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This study was undertaken under the BU Vice-Chancellor’s Scholarship at Bournemouth University, UK and I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been granted this opportunity. Without this scholarship, I could not have embarked on this journey. I would like to thank my supervisors Professor Hugh Chignell and Dr Kristin Skoog; this thesis could not have been researched and written without the valued guidance, supervision and continuous support from both of them. I would also like to thank the participants of the research who gave me their valuable time and insights through interviews for this thesis. I am also grateful to the BBC’s Written Archive Centre as well as the IBA Archive at Bournemouth University to be able to access the valuable archives for this research. This research could not have been possible without infinite support of my loving husband Amol. Also, this research could not have been possible if my then one-year old and now five-year old son Ruhaan had not been patient in his most playful years over the past four years. I would also like to express my gratitude to my family and friends who have endlessly encouraged me on this journey. This has been one of the most exciting, as well as challenging, experiences of my life and I look at it as a positive turning point. IV TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

Chapter One: Introduction 1.1 Background This doctoral research examines the evolution of British Asian radio in England, covering the time period from 1960 to 2004. During the 1960s, the influx of migrants from the Indian sub-continent began to arrive in England, and the year 2004 saw the creation of third tier radio - Community Radio, which enabled Asian community groups to start independent, small-scale, micro-local, non-profit British Asian radio stations. Throughout this thesis, I use the term ‘Asian’ collectively to cover a range of ethnic minorities whose cultural roots emanate from the Indian sub-continent. By ‘Asian’, I mean mainly the Indian and Pakistani community, which migrated to England from India, Pakistan, East Africa and elsewhere. Although the term ‘Asian’ refers to the people from the continent of Asia, which comprises of many other countries than just India and Pakistan, I use this term to refer to England’s Indian and Pakistani community only. This term has been used in a similar way in industry and by the primary sources of this research. The BBC has used this term with a similar context by renaming its Immigrants Programme Unit as the Asian Programmes Unit that was initiated by the BBC for the Asian migrants in the 1960s. The BBC Asian Network is another example of how the term ‘Asian’ has been used to refer to England’s Indian and Pakistani listener community mainly. Also, this term has been used in a similar context by the primary sources for this research, including the BBC’s Written Archives and the key radio people that I interviewed. In the BBC’s Written Archives, the terms ‘Asian’ and ‘Asian Programmes Advisory Committee’ have been used to refer to the programmes produced for the Indian and Pakistani listener community in England. My interviewees Own Bentley, Don Kotak, Vijay Sharma, Salim Salam, Tony Stoller have used this term in a similar context in their interviews with me. Hence, throughout this thesis, I use the term ‘Asian’ mainly to refer to the Indian and Pakistani community in England. The religious associations of these Asian migrants comprise mainly Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism and their languages include primarily Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi and Gujarati. 1 During the post-war period, Asian population started migrating to England for various reasons, including seeking employment as a result of the industrial labour shortage. This phenomenon of migration started to bring in a change to existing British society.

Historically, the natural sciences and the arts have engaged more fully with aural and visual senses, while tending to ignore more ostensibly subjective experiences of taste, smell and touch; yet the latter are experientially rich and evocative. This course engages with the gap and the connection between everyday sensory experience and expert knowledge. Through lectures, readings and field trips, students will master established facts and concepts about contemporary urban food cultures and produce new knowledge of the same. This two credit course will meet weekly (except for the last week of October and the first week of November) for a total of 20 hours across the semester between 3 September 2018 and 7 December 2018. Teaching will include a mix of classroom instruction and co-curricular tasks and trips in the Bloomsbury neighborhood of London, which surrounds the NYU London campus.

  • BOOK BANNED DUE to LURID REVELATIONS Submitted By: Know the Score Books Thursday, 24 May 2007
    BOOK BANNED DUE TO LURID REVELATIONS Submitted by: Know the Score Books Thursday, 24 May 2007 Paul Smith's newly published autobiography, 'WASTED?' has already caused quite a stir. In its first week it has been banned by his former employers, Warwickshire County Cricket Club, due to the lurid details of his career at the club and been the subject of several top notch reviews. The book tells the story of Smith's devil-may-care sporting career which saw him live the high life whilst winning trophies for Warwickshire, then plumb the depths, before emerging a new man, having lost his job, income, family and self respect, to work with inner city youths in the UK and Los Angeles to help them avoid the mistakes he made and avoid lives involving drugs, guns and crime. It is a modern morality tale which speaks to a far wider audience than that which would normally read a sporting autobiography. BRIEF SYNOPSIS 'WASTED?' is the story of how cricketer Paul Smith’s life fell apart after he received a drugs ban in 1997, which effectively ended his career. He was made a scapegoat and still believes he was singled-out while several other, favoured players were allowed to continue their careers. Paul lost his house, his marriage, his children and, of course, his job. How does a man come back from that? In this extraordinary autobiography, Paul Smith (a native of the north east of England) tells the story of the rock star lifestyle of a top cricketer, who produced Man of the Match performances at Lord’s to help Warwickshire to an unprecedented domestic treble of trophies, which set him on the slippery slope to oblivion.

    Valuing Radio How commercial radio contributes to the UK A report by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Commercial Radio The data within Valuing Radio is largely drawn from a 2018 survey of Radiocentre members. It is supplemented by additional research which is sourced individually. Contents 01 Introduction 03 Overview and recommendations 05 The public value of commercial radio • News and information • Economic value • Charity and community 21 Commercial radio people 27 Future of radio Introduction The APPG on Commercial Radio helps provide this important industry with a voice in parliament. With record audiences and more ways to listen than ever before, the impact of the industry should not be underestimated. While the challenges facing the sector have changed over the years, the steadfast commitment of stations to provide public value content every day remains. This new report, the first of its kind produced by the APPG, showcases the rich public value content that commercial radio provides to listeners for free. Valuing Radio explores the impact made by stations up and down the country, over and above the music and entertainment output that audiences expect. It looks particularly at radio’s role in providing news and information, the sector’s significant support for both charitable fundraising and education, in addition to work to improve diversity within the industry. Alongside this important public value content is a significant economic contribution to local economies across the UK. For the first time we have analysis on the impact of local advertising and the return on investment (ROI) that this generates for particular nations and regions of the UK.
