  • DISCOVER SHARE REMEMBER Bb C.Co.Uk/Rememb Ranc E
    DISCOVER SHARE REMEMBER bb c.co.uk/rememb ranc e Schools Section Introduction Written by John Sandham, history teacher, Devon “In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. bb c.co.uk/rememb ranc e We are the dead…” On 28 January 1918, Lieutenant-Colonel John McRae, succumbing to pneumonia and meningitis, joined those comrades he had been remembering in the above poem, ‘In Flanders Fields’. When World War One ended in November 1918, the casualties stood at some 37 million and over 10 million were dead. This ‘War to end all wars’ did not end wars; the years following 1918 have been littered with them, including the Second World War, where advances in the technology deployed in World War One meant the casualties far exceeded those of the First World War and brought millions of civilians into the death count. The 90th anniversary of the Armistice takes place on 11 November. This will be an occasion for the world to remind itself of the futility of war, but also to remember those who lost their lives in WW1 and subsequent wars. The BBC is launching the Remembrance campaign to commemorate those who served and to bring to life the nature of that time. This will inform us about WW1 and the personal stories of individuals who fought and often died in the war and the families they left behind who held onto their personal effects.

  • British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Is a British Public Service Broadcast- Ing Statutory Corporation
    ERICSSON/CREATIVE MERGER INQUIRY Summary of hearing with the British Broadcasting Corporation held on Thursday 21 November 2013 Background 1. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is a British public service broadcast- ing statutory corporation. Its main responsibility is to provide impartial public service broadcasting in the UK, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. It is headquartered at Broadcasting House in London and has major production centres in Salford Quays, Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff and Glasgow, and smaller production centres throughout the UK. The BBC is the world’s oldest national broadcasting organization and the largest broadcaster in the world by number of employees, with about 23,000 staff. Playout requirements 2. The BBC had a number of network channels, with BBC One and Two the most high profile. These two channels had had nations and regional variations for many years. It had regional variations only on BBC One and had nations variations on both BBC One and BBC Two. Red Bee Media (RBM) was responsible for playing out the BBC network streams, whereas the BBC was responsible for playout in the nations and regions. 3. Regions were branded, for example BBC London or BBC South East, during the regional news or a small number of other regional programmes. The nations’ brand- ing was always in place, for example BBC One Scotland, with equivalent branding for Wales and Northern Ireland. The BBC did not want to be seen as just a London- centric organization, and the way the channels were presented with nations’ idents, graphics and voice-overs that reflected the nations’ identity was important to viewers and the BBC.

    Berry, Richard (2013) Radio with pictures: Radio visualization in BBC national radio. The Radio Journal, 11 (2). pp. 169-184. ISSN 1476-4504 Downloaded from: http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/id/eprint/5210/ Usage guidelines Please refer to the usage guidelines at http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/policies.html or alternatively contact [email protected]. Radio with Pictures: Radio Visualisation in BBC National Radio Richard Berry University of Sunderland Abstract. Radio has always had pictures. The ones the listener created in their own minds and this is, most of us agree, one of the medium's greatest strengths. However, radio is increasingly consumed on a digital platform (such as DAB Radio, Digital TV, a mobile device or a computer) on devices with screens, rather than a dial. This creates a problem for radio because when we look at the device we are listening to we see a screen that often lacks rich content. The process of Radio Visualisation is about filling this space. This papers focus, though, is the other ways in which radio is visualising itself online in a process that deploys transmedia storytelling techniques that build relationships with the audience, builds brands and helps broadcasters to tell stories in ways never before possible. In the spring of 2011 2.84 million British TV viewers watched a radio programme on their Televisions. They were tuning in via interactive television (or the 'red button') services to watch the BBC Radio One breakfast presenter Chris Moyles attempt to break a world record for the longest radio programme. The BBC installed a series of fixed cameras in the programme’s regular studio at the BBC's Yalding House studios, with added 'roving' cameras to allow the presenters to broadcast from other parts of the building and a cafe across the street.

  • Diverse on Screen Talent Directory
    BBC Diverse Presenters The BBC is committed to finding and growing diverse onscreen talent across all channels and platforms. We realise that in order to continue making the BBC feel truly diverse, and improve on where we are at the moment, we need to let you know who’s out there. In this document you will find biographies for just some of the hugely talented people the BBC has already been working with and others who have made their mark elsewhere. It’s the responsibility of every person involved in BBC programme making to ask themselves whether what, and who, they are putting on screen reflects the world around them or just one section of society.
