  • Audiouk Response to Ofcom Call for Evidence Relating to BBC Sounds
    AudioUK response to Ofcom call for evidence relating to BBC Sounds About the independent UK audio production sector 1. AudioUK is the trade body for the audio-led production sector in the UK. AudioUK has four core priorities: Business; Representation; Community; and Excellence – and has over 100 member companies based across the whole of the UK. AudioUK runs the Audiotrain skills programme. It also runs the Audio Production Awards, an annual celebration of the craft skills of audio production. AudioUK, along with Radiocentre, oversees the administration of the Audio Content Fund which distributes a grant from the UK government to fund public service content on commercial and community radio. As a member of the DCMS Broadcasting, Film and Production Working Group, AudioUK has produced guidelines for safe working in audio production during the coronavirus pandemic. 2. Outside of in-house radio and publishing production, audio production is carried out by a mixture of companies and self-employed individuals. In terms of companies we estimate there are between 180-200 SMEs spread around the UK. Traditionally audio production companies worked almost exclusively for the BBC, but activity has broadened out to podcasting, audiobooks and productions for commercial radio. The latter has been encouraged by the Audio Content Fund, which has created numerous new partnerships between indie audio production companies and commercial radio stations1. 3. We continue to support the existence of an independent and well-funded BBC, providing public service content to the Licence Fee Payer, nevertheless there is a real opportunity for the UK audio production sector to build its international reputation as a maker of first-class audio content, attracting more investment from partners such as podcast platforms, brands and national and international broadcasters.

  • Fanatics!: Power, Identity and Fandom in Football
    6 ‘FOOTBALL’S COMING HOME’ BUT WHOSE HOME? AND DO WE WANT IT? Nation, football and the politics of exclusion Ben Carrington Racism manifests itself in plural and complex forms. In this situation the logic of racism needs to be appraised in what we shall call metonymic elaborations. This means that racisms may be expressed through a variety of coded signifiers…. Contemporary racisms have evolved and adapted to new circumstances. The crucial property of these elaborations is that they can produce a racist effect while denying that this effect is the result of racism. (Solomos and Back 1996:27, emphasis added) Introduction This chapter argues that the dominant discourse that surrounded Euro 96 (the 1996 European Football Championships) drew on, and reinforced, a form of cultural racism that currently appears to be pervasive. It is argued that the national ‘imagined community’ (Anderson 1991) that was re- constructed was one that actively worked to exclude certain categories of people—being both gendered and racially exclusive. Seeking to understand the underlying cultural processes that generated this discourse, I show the connections between other cultural spheres, notably pop music, and argue that these cultural expressions are part of a wider reassertion of a narrow and closed white male English identity which has become coded as the so- called ‘New Lad’ phenomenon. The chapter surveys some of the contemporary characteristics of popular culture before locating the pivotal role of comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner in generating the Euro 96 anthem, ‘Three Lions’ with its ‘football’s coming home’ chorus, and outlines why this song and related themes became so popular within both the public and political imagination.
