  • Professor Jeremy Summerly 17 September 2020
    RADIO IN THE 78 RPM ERA (1920-1948) PROFESSOR JEREMY SUMMERLY 17 SEPTEMBER 2020 At 7.10 pm on 15 June 1920, a half-hour broadcast was given by Australian prima donna Dame Nellie Melba (‘the world’s very best artist’). Singing from a workshop at the back of the Marconi Wireless and Telegraph Company, the 59-year old soprano described her Chelmsford recital as ‘the most wonderful experience of my career’. The transmission was received all around Europe, as well as in Soltan-Abad in Persia (now Arak in Iran) to the East, and Newfoundland (at the time a Dominion of the British Empire) to the West. Dame Nellie’s recital became recognized as Britain’s first official radio broadcast and the Daily Mail (predictably, perhaps, in its role as sponsor) described the event as ‘a great initiation ceremony; the era of public entertainment may be said to have completed its preliminary trials’. The Radio Corporation of America had been founded a year earlier, run by a young Russian- American businessman David Sarnoff. Sarnoff believed that ‘broadcasting represents a job of entertaining, informing and educating the nation, and should therefore be distinctly regarded as a public service’, words that were later echoed more famously by John Reith of the British Broadcasting Company. On 11 May 1922, daily radio transmissions of an hour began from the 7th floor of Marconi House at London’s Aldwych. The Marconi Company’s London station was known as 2LO and its first concert (for voice, cello, and piano) was broadcast on 24 June; the Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII) broadcast from Marconi House on 7 October.

  • Development of the BBC A.M. Transmitter Network. Rev 6A
    Rev 6a (28/5/2007) Development of the BBC A.M. Transmitter Network (compiled by Clive McCarthy) Introduction The British Broadcasting Company, under the chairmanship of Lord Gainford, was formed in October 1922 to set up a broadcasting system as outlined in a plan sanctioned by the Postmaster General in May 1922. This allowed for eight areas of Britain to have a local transmitter, of power 1.5 kW. From this original scheme, the BBC developed the network of high power stations that became so familiar. 1922 to 1929 Eight stations established, having an aerial power of about 1 kW, in main cities. Each city provided programmes from its own studio. Music quality land lines didn’t exist at first, but simultaneous broadcasting started in May 1923 over trunk telephone circuits, with regular London news bulletins to other stations from August 1923.

PUB DATE 8 Nov 72 NOTE 22p. EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$3.29 DESCRIPTORS Adult Education; *Educational Radio; Higher Education; *Mass Media; Primary Grades; Program Descriptions; *Programing (Broadcast); Secondary Grades IDENTIFIERS BBC; British Broadcasting Corporation; *British Broadcasting Corporation Local Radio; Local Educational Panels; School Broadcasting Council for United Kingdom; Teachers Centers ABSTRACT Education has been a significant preoccupation ci the British Broadcasting Company's (BBC) Local Radio since its outset in 1967. Several features are noteworthy. First, there is an educator on every station's staff. Five hundred series a year, involving 4000 various programs, az.?. offered, and audiences are large and educational efforts still growing. Second, there is a partnership between education and broadcasting..Teachers work with stations and stations cooperate with teacher training institutions and Teachers' Centers. Third, local programing dominates..The School Broadcasting Council for the United Kingdom vests responsibility for programing in Local Education Panels; local needs are assessed and programs directed at them. Fourth, benefits to the classroom derive from bringing voices from the community to students, by allowing children to express their opinions on familiar topics, and by showing students the outside world. Fifth, adult education is served because students are attracted to programs of which they were previously unaware. All in all, the BBC Local Radio effort helps technology to serve eduation. It is accessible to the public, blurs the distinction between producer and user, and fosters the belief that radio is a facility to be used by the community.
