YEAR=BOOK 1 93 3 The Programme Year covered by this book is from November I, 1931 to October 31, 1932 THE BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION BROADCASTING HOUSE LONDON W I www.americanradiohistory.com f 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 linking of two or more transmitters by telephone lines for the purpose of broadcasting 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 outside 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. (3) 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 a sixth Region - the London Region-which supplies the National programme as well as the London Regional programme. The provincial centres supply the Regional programme for their own Regions. The words "Region" or "Regional" refer throughout the book to this system of organisation.

Reith Head Office BROADCASTING HOUSE, LONDON, W.' www.americanradiohistory.com Jport aka General THE KING AND QUEEN LEAVING BROADCASTING HOUSE AFTER THEIR VISIT ON 7 JULY 1932 [8] www.americanradiohistory.com TEN YEARS OF BROADCASTING ON July 7th, 1932, the visit of their Majesties the King and Queen to Broadcasting House, the B.B.C.'s new London head- quarters, set the seal on ten years of British broadcasting. On November 14th and the following days the B.B.C. celebrated its actual tenth anniversary with a week of special programmes. The purpose of the present article is to review the B.B.C.'s career as objectively as possible. On May 4th, 1922, the Postmaster -General, Mr. F. G. Kella- way, announced in the House of Commons that it had been decided to authorise regular broadcasting in Great Britain. Long and delicate negotiations were still, however, to take place, and it was not until October 18th that the form of Com- pany was officially agreed by the radio manufacturers and the Post Office. The British Broadcasting Company was registered on December 15th, 1922, but its licence to broadcast was not issued till January 18th, 1923. It was retrospective, however, and gave permission to broadcast as from November 1st, 1922. Broadcasting had actually begun officially in aç r on November 14th from the station 2LO, loaned by the oni Company and operated under their auspices until the end of the year. On the following day, the Company took over the existing stations at Birmingham and Manchester under similar arrangements with the Western Electric Company and the Metropolitan Vickers Company. In the last week of December, with the appointment of a General Manager and other officials, the B.B.C. organisation began to take effect, and the company began its public service career which the Corporation has con- tinued since January 1st, 1927. The essential constituents of a broadcasting system are pro- grammes, transmission (dealt with in the next article) and, thirdly, constitution and management, the last -named being under- stood to cover on the one hand external policy, viz. relations with the public, the professions and industries concerned or affected, the Government, and other broadcasters : and on the other, internal policy, viz. co- ordination of effort, allocation of resources, and planning of development. The term " manage- ment " covers, of course, the control exercised by the Board of Directors or Governors as well as that exercised by the executive A2 [91 www.americanradiohistory.com officials. Before one settles the constitution of any service or business one must have at least a general idea of the purpose that it is meant to fulfil. But in I92I -I922 even a general idea was difficult to formulate. The situation was that broadcasting, hitherto practised for the love of the thing by a few scientific amateurs, had leaped into considerable popularity in the United States, and was spreading to Europe under the impul- sion of some urge that might be either a whim of the moment or the sign of a real social necessity. In America the pace of the movement had been too hot for careful thought and planning.* Although the first important and sensational broadcast had been one of political news, and educational broadcasting of a sort was done here and there as early as I92I, the field was at once captured by the combined forces of handy -fingered Youth and recreation -seeking Labour, for whose demands the radio trade set itself to cater on purely commercial lines. This was not in the least surprising. Most, even among thoughtful men, were satisfied to think of "radio" as a solution of the great problem of how to occupy the leisure of a population that worked for short and intense hours on uninspiring series -production. Moreover, communications not being, in America, a public service, the national authority was not obliged, as in Europe, to take a standpoint in the matter. In Great Britain, on the contrary, the Post Office was in a position to regulate broad- casting from the first, and indeed under the constitutional necessity of doing so. Even thus, the line of least resistance might well have been to allow commercial broadcasting for entertain- ment alone with some form of competition, but it chose other- wise and, looking at the future as well as the present, it adopted unequivocally the principle of putting broadcasting in the hands of a single and undivided organisation with public service as a motive. This decision was of fundamental importance not only for British Broadcasting, but for European practice in general. It marked the intention to make broadcasting, as a public service, subserve a public need. What precisely that need was, * The first true broadcasting station in that country, KDKA, of the Westinghouse Company, opened on November 2nd, 1920; six hundred stations were in existence by the end of I922 and fourteen hundred by the end of 1924.

  • Percy Grainger and New Worlds of Concert Pianism
    Percy Grainger and New Worlds of Concert Pianism: A Study of Repertoire and Programming (1914-1926) Natalie Stephanie Bellio Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Music (By Research) October 2013 Melbourne Conservatorium of Music The University of Melbourne Produced on archival quality paper Abstract This thesis presents an overview of Percy Grainger’s piano repertoire and programming on his tours in the United States and elsewhere in the period 1914-1926. In the United States, Percy Grainger encountered a new and wider audience, which gave him the recognition he desired to become well established as a concert pianist, and allowed him the freedom to explore a wider range of piano repertoire, as well as perform his own piano works. He developed an individual approach to programming his piano recitals and committed himself to a role as ambassador for the piano works of selected modern composers throughout America, Scandinavia and Australia. This thesis briefly explores Grainger’s performing career in London from 1901 to 1914, to provide background on Grainger’s roles as a pianist, the diversity of the piano repertoire he performed, and the restrictive circumstances surrounding his early career whilst under the management of his mother Rose. Through new research conducted on concert programmes and other relevant archival material available at the Grainger Museum, this thesis examines Grainger’s transformation as a pianist, the evolution of his selection of piano repertoire and his innovative and maturing approach to recital programming in the United States from 1914 to 1926. In addition, this study explores Grainger’s developing professional role as an educator and promoter of his preferred piano repertoire in the United States.

  • This 2008 Letter
    The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury & The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of York July, 2008 Most Reverend Fathers in God, We write as bishops, priests and deacons of the Provinces of Canterbury and York, who have sought, by God’s grace, in our various ministries, to celebrate the Sacraments and preach the Word faithfully; to form, nurture and catechise new Christians; to pastor the people of God entrusted to our care; and, through the work of our dioceses, parishes and institutions, to build up the Kingdom and to further God’s mission to the world in this land. Our theological convictions, grounded in obedience to Scripture and Tradition, and attentive to the need to discern the mind of the whole Church Catholic in matters touching on Faith and Order, lead us to doubt the sacramental ministry of those women ordained to the priesthood by the Church of England since 1994. Having said that, we have engaged with the life of the Church of England in a myriad of ways, nationally and locally, and have made sincere efforts to work courteously and carefully with those with whom we disagree. In the midst of this disagreement over Holy Order, we have, we believe, borne particular witness to the cause of Christian unity, and to the imperative of Our Lord’s command that ‘all may be one.’ We include those who have given many years service to the Church in the ordained ministry, and others who are very newly ordained. We believe that we demonstrate the vitality of the tradition which we represent and which has formed us in our discipleship and ministry – a tradition which, we believe, constitutes an essential and invaluable part of the life and character of the Church of England, without which it would be deeply impoverished.

  • Dac Members - Biographies
    Churchyard DAC MEMBERS - BIOGRAPHIES Membership of the Diocesan Advisory Committee for the Care of Churches 2019 WALKER LAPTHORNE, CHAIR Walker Lapthorne is a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and a semi – retired Chartered Building Surveyor. He was a Partner of Taylor Lane & Creber, Chartered Surveyors, in Plymouth in the 1980’s and a Director of Stratton Creber until 1996. He joined the established Building Company, J D C Builders in the South Hams and became Managing Director after a management buy out in 2000. The company specialised in high quality new build and refurbishment and specialist conservation works. He has had direct experience of working on major church restoration and reordering projects and has worked on many significant listed buildings throughout South Devon and South East Cornwall. He is the Chair of Trustees for the Eden Cottages Alms Houses in Ivybridge. Walker believes that the development of the Church as the focal point for worship in the community will need to be accommodated by the sensitive adaptation of the buildings to ensure that they remain fit for purpose in modern times. This has to be managed without losing sight of the listed status of many of the churches and the need to ensure that they are conserved for future generations. The reconciliation of this need against the constraints of available budgets will need creative thinking from all Members and Partners of the DAC, to ensure that the appropriate advice is offered. The building stock represents a considerable asset for the Diocese and such assets will need both protection and appreciation of how they can function to serve the mission and ministry as well as the wider community, going forward.
