  • The History of the Development of British Satellite Broadcasting Policy, 1977-1992
    THE HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF BRITISH SATELLITE BROADCASTING POLICY, 1977-1992 Windsor John Holden —......., Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of PhD University of Leeds, Institute of Communications Studies July, 1998 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others ABSTRACT This thesis traces the development of British satellite broadcasting policy, from the early proposals drawn up by the Home Office following the UK's allocation of five direct broadcast by satellite (DBS) frequencies at the 1977 World Administrative Radio Conference (WARC), through the successive, abortive DBS initiatives of the BBC and the "Club of 21", to the short-lived service provided by British Satellite Broadcasting (BSB). It also details at length the history of Sky Television, an organisation that operated beyond the parameters of existing legislation, which successfully competed (and merged) with BSB, and which shaped the way in which policy was developed. It contends that throughout the 1980s satellite broadcasting policy ceased to drive and became driven, and that the failure of policy-making in this time can be ascribed to conflict on ideological, governmental and organisational levels. Finally, it considers the impact that satellite broadcasting has had upon the British broadcasting structure as a whole. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract i Contents ii Acknowledgements 1 INTRODUCTION 3 British broadcasting policy - a brief history

Today, I'm joined down the line by Martin Frizell, editor of This Morning. A journalism graduate of Napier University, he spent seven years as a reporter with Thomson Reuters based in London, but covering current affairs across the globe. In 2000, he became editor of GMTV, overseeing a three hour daily live magazine show with five million viewers before becoming UK correspondent for Australia's Channel Seven Sunrise. He then became an executive director at PR firm GolinHarris, before returning to television as editor of ITV's all female panel show, Loose Women. He recently had to take leave from his position as editor of This Morning to self-isolate whilst looking after his wife, presenter Fiona Phillips, who fell ill with the coronavirus. Martin, thank you for joining me. Oh, hello, Paul. Well that's it. Can we just stop now? Because that about sums it up, really, doesn't it? I thought you were going to sort of say there was some kind of factual error there. I hate it when that happens and we always edit it out, so our listeners don't hear that I usually botch the intros. I mean- Funnily enough, I mean, you mentioned pretty much most of my television career, but the early days of newspapers and radio work, and I'm sure we'll come onto it, were quite sort of instrumental in my life as well in Glasgow.

Today I’m joined by the international broadcast journalist Stephen Cole, chairman of the Institute of Diplomacy and Business, and CEO of communications business Cole Productions. Stephen has been part of the launch presenting team for four major news networks – Sky News, CNN International, BBC World and Al-Jazeera English. He also worked at the BBC where he founded the technology programme Click Online, and stepped into the breach to cover the nightly news during the staff strike action in 2005. Stephen, thank you for joining me. Thank you Paul. Good to see you. You’re the consummate TV News anchorman. Can you beat that rush of breaking a story on air? Do you miss it? No I don’t, because I’ve done it for a long time. But I don’t think there’s any real buzz that I get that is the same as when a story starts to break and you’re on your own in a studio. You don’t have a script. You don’t know where you’re going, because you don’t know where the story’s going, and nobody in the gallery can help you. You are exposed; you are in the headlights, you are on your own. And that I find so exciting. And the first time I knew I could do that was at Sky News in ‘89.
