  • Hnh ENGINEERING
    HnHENGINEERING OVERVIEW 1991 has been a productive and rewarding year for Engineers throughout the Corporation. Important projects that have come to fruition include the Broadcasting Centre at Southampton, the Blackstaff development in Belfast, the Millbank parliamentary broadcasting facility, the new Manchester vehicle maintenance base, Television Centre Stage V, Skelton C HF station, and many more, as detailed in the following pages. The year will also be remembered for notable progress on the digital front. The new D3 digital video recorder is rapidly becoming established as the main post production machine, and high quality digital stereo television sound is now available to more than 70% of the BBC's audience via NlCAM 728. However the most notable 'digital event' of 1991 could turn out to be the Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) demon- strations that we mounted in Birmingham in July. These demonstrations showed that DAB can deliver CD-quality digital sound to fixed, portable, or car receivers, even in inhospitable reception areas. Some difficulties remain to be overcome, including the need to get agreement on a frequency assignment for new DAB radio services. Nevertheless, most of those attending the demonstrations were convinced that they had witnessed a major technical advance in sound broad- casting, whose introduction cannot long be delayed. TRANSMISSIO TRANSMISSION OPERATIONS As a result of the Broadcasting Act, the transmission responsibilities previously discharged by the IBA United Kingdom have been taken over by a private company, National Skelton C, opened in May 1991 by Mark Transcommunications Limited (NTL).

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OpenGrey Repository The Production of Religious Broadcasting: The Case of the BBC Caitriona Noonan A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Centre for Cultural Policy Research Department of Theatre, Film and Television University of Glasgow Glasgow G12 8QQ December 2008 © Caitriona Noonan, 2008 Abstract This thesis examines the way in which media professionals negotiate the occupational challenges related to television and radio production. It has used the subject of religion and its treatment within the BBC as a microcosm to unpack some of the dilemmas of contemporary broadcasting. In recent years religious programmes have evolved in both form and content leading to what some observers claim is a “renaissance” in religious broadcasting. However, any claims of a renaissance have to be balanced against the complex institutional and commercial constraints that challenge its long-term viability. This research finds that despite the BBC’s public commitment to covering a religious brief, producers in this style of programming are subject to many of the same competitive forces as those in other areas of production. Furthermore those producers who work in-house within the BBC’s Department of Religion and Ethics believe that in practice they are being increasingly undermined through the internal culture of the Corporation and the strategic decisions it has adopted. This is not an intentional snub by the BBC but a product of the pressure the Corporation finds itself under in an increasingly competitive broadcasting ecology, hence the removal of the protection once afforded to both the department and the output.
