Pocketbook for You, in Any Print Style: Including Updated and Filtered Data, However You Want It Hello Since 1994, Media UK - www.mediauk.com - has contained a full media directory. We now contain media news from over 50 sources, RAJAR and playlist information, the industry's widest selection of radio jobs, and much more - and it's all free. From our directory, we're proud to be able to produce a new edition of the Radio Pocket Book. We've based this on the Radio Authority version that was available when we launched 17 years ago. We hope you find it useful. Enjoy this return of an old favourite: and set mediauk.com on your browser favourites list. James Cridland Managing Director Media UK First published in Great Britain in September 2011 Copyright © 1994-2011 Not At All Bad Ltd. All Rights Reserved. mediauk.com/terms This edition produced October 18, 2011 Set in Book Antiqua Printed on dead trees Published by Not At All Bad Ltd (t/a Media UK) Registered in England, No 6312072 Registered Office (not for correspondence): 96a Curtain Road, London EC2A 3AA 020 7100 1811 [email protected] @mediauk www.mediauk.com Foreword In 1975, when I was 13, I wrote to the IBA to ask for a copy of their latest publication grandly titled Transmitting stations: a Pocket Guide. The year before I had listened with excitement to the launch of our local commercial station, Liverpool's Radio City, and wanted to find out what other stations I might be able to pick up. In those days the Guide covered TV as well as radio, which could only manage to fill two pages – but then there were only 19 “ILR” stations. Nevertheless from then on I was hooked and carried my copy around with me, especially when we went on holiday. I would drive my parents mad as I fiddled with the radio every few miles to see what other distant stations I could pick up – a habit that persists and still annoys anyone I travel with. Over the years the Guide grew, as did its BBC counterpart, first with new stations such as Radio Aire or the doomed Centre Radio in Leicester, then a doubling of choice with the end of AM/FM simulcasting and then a whole range of smaller stations. The Guide reflected the growth of a vibrant industry spreading into every part of the UK. Today we are in the middle of a further explosion of both listener choice and ways to listen, as community radio and digital-only stations launch on a variety of new platforms: on DAB, on the internet and via TV, as well as traditional FM. Most of us can now choose from hundreds of UK stations as well as thousands from overseas. The days when I could only choose between four BBC networks, one BBC local station and one ILR station are a very distant memory. It’s great to have the Guide back to help us through this wealth of choice. Peter Davies Director of Radio, Ofcom September 2011 Some questions answered How this pocket book was compiled Media UK is a user-generated directory, and has hundreds of updates a week from readers at mediauk.com. If you spot anything wrong, visit mediauk.com/fixerrors - it’ll take less than two minutes. We’ve spent time with the major groups ensuring that our data for them is as correct as it can be. The people we list We only list personnel for radio stations who have approved their proof for the pocket book, and we list them in alphabetical order. Contact [email protected] if your station hasn't got anyone listed. There's plenty more people at mediauk.com Websites and email addresses are on mediauk.com If you want online information, we bet you’ll be online anyway, and therefore our lovely website is right for you. You’ll find it at mediauk.com - it’s very good, it’s searchable, and it’s free. Stations that just say “DAB” on them: what multiplex are they? FM frequencies don’t have coverage areas in the Pocket Book, so we don’t list the multiplex areas for DAB either. You’ll find a full list on mediauk.com - along with Freeview, Freesat, Sky and cable details, and links to listen. But we own more stations than this! We list radio stations like listeners do - by programming, not by historical or legal franchise, nor by advertising area. Some stations that share programming are treated as one station by us, just like your audience do. How can I get more copies? Unlike previous editions of the Pocket Book, we can't afford to give these away for free. That said, because this is produced automatically from Media UK data, we can produce any number of copies of this pocketbook for you, in any print style: including updated and filtered data, however you want it. We can even print it on a jigsaw. (A very big one). Contact [email protected] with your requirements.

  • PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 and 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate
    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

We know this because Animal Aid and Hillside Animal Sanctuary have placed fly-on- the-wall cameras inside 15 English slaughterhouses and found how workers behave when they think they are not being watched. Fourteen of the slaughterhouses were breaking animal welfare laws.

  • The Birth of Broadcasting (1961)
    This is the first part of a projected three- or four-volume history of broadcasting in the United Kingdom. The whole work is designed as an authoritative account of the rise of broadcasting in England up to the passing of the Independent Television Act in 1955 and the end of the BBC monopoly. Though naturally largely concerned with the BBC, it will be a general history of broadcasting, not simply an institutional history of the BBC, and will briefly sketch the back- ground of wireless developments in other parts of the world. The Birth of Broadcasting covers early amateur experiments in wire- less telephony in America and in England, the pioneer days at Writtle in Essex and elsewhere, and the com- ing of organized broadcasting and its rapid growth during the first four years of the BBC's existence as a private Company before it became a public Corporation in January 1927. Professor Briggs describes how and why the Company was formed, the scope of its activities, and the reasons which led to its conversion from a business enterprise into a national institution. The issues raised between 1923 and 1927 remain pertinent today. The hard bargaining between the Post Office, private wireless interests, and the emergent British Broadcasting Company is discussed in illuminating continued on bock flap $10.00 continued from front flap detail, together with the remarkable opposition with which the Company had to contend in its early days. Many sections of the opposition, including a powerful section of the press, seemed able to conceive of broadcasting only as competing with their own interests, never as comple- menting or enlarging them.

  • Jeff Smith Head of Music, BBC Radio 2 and 6 Music Media Masters – August 16, 2018 Listen to the Podcast Online, Visit
    Jeff Smith Head of Music, BBC Radio 2 and 6 Music Media Masters – August 16, 2018 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one to one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today, I’m here in the studios of BBC 6 Music and joined by Jeff Smith, the man who has chosen the tracks that we’ve been listening to on the radio for years. Now head of music for BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 6 Music, Jeff spent most of his career in music. Previously he was head of music for Radio 1 in the late 90s, and has since worked at Capital FM and Napster. In his current role, he is tasked with shaping music policy for two of the BBC’s most popular radio stations, as the technology of how we listen to music is transforming. Jeff, thank you for joining me. Pleasure. Jeff, Radio 2 has a phenomenal 15 million listeners. How do you ensure that the music selection appeals to such a vast audience? It’s a challenge, obviously, to keep that appeal across the board with those listeners, but it appears to be working. As you say, we’re attracting 15.4 million listeners every week, and I think it’s because I try to keep a balance of the best of the best new music, with classic tracks from a whole range of eras, way back to the 60s and 70s. So I think it’s that challenge of just making that mix work and making it work in terms of daytime, and not only just keeping a kind of core audience happy, but appealing to a new audience who would find that exciting and fun to listen to.
