  • 'Lobby' and the Formative Years of Radio Sports
    ‘Lobby’ and the Formative Years of Radio Sports Commentary, 1935 – 52. Richard Haynes Published in Sport in History, Vol.29, No.1, pp.25-48 ABSTRACT This article traces the professional career and influence on sports broadcasting of Seymour Joly de Lotbiniere, known within the BBC as Lobby. Lobby was the BBC’s Director of Outside Broadcasts from 1935 to 1939, and then again encompassing radio and television from 1946 to 1952, before concentrating on television OBs from 1952-55. He is widely credited with transforming the codes and conventions of radio running commentary as the BBC expanded its radio coverage of sport in the late 1930s and in the immediate post-war years. The article provides a brief biographical sketch of Lobby’s upper-class background and privileged education and how this influenced his eventual career in broadcasting. Drawing on papers held in the BBC Written Archives and on autobiographical accounts of BBC commentators, the article analyses Lobby’s development of the core principles of running commentary, the recruitment and management of commentators and his relations with the producers of sports coverage in Broadcasting House and the BBC’s regional centres. The article concludes that Lobby’s meticulous management and analytical approach to sports commentary had a significant influence on the institutional practices of the BBC’s outside broadcasting department, an influence that continues to reverberate today. Dr Richard Haynes, University of Stirling. Correspondence to: [email protected] Commentaries cannot in fact be turned out to a set pattern of excellence like shells or razor blades.

  • Celebrating 300,000 Babies Center for Women and Infants’ Health Patients Pay It Forward 2008 Puttin’ on the Pink Raises Record Amount Alliance of Stars Dear Friends
    Summer 2008 Celebrating 300,000 Babies Center for Women and Infants’ Health Patients Pay it Forward 2008 Puttin’ on the Pink Raises Record Amount Alliance of Stars Dear Friends, For all of the time our foundation devotes to relaying facts and figures about our Harris Methodist hospitals, they often fall on deaf ears. Perhaps we would be smarter to focus our efforts 16 inches lower. Time and again, we are reminded that it is the grateful heart that inspires the act of giving. This issue of STARS pays tribute to the capacity and power of the grateful heart – to heal pain, to express thanks, and to touch others. At Harris Methodist Health Foundation, we see these grateful hearts in action through the gifts we receive each day. This graciousness is reflected in the center of this magazine with the Alliance of Stars – pages and pages of names who gave to help others. Often we are left to wonder what inspired such generosity. But in other cases, we come to understand how the care and support delivered in our hospitals moves the grateful heart to pay it forward – and how powerful that can be. Such is the story told by Gloria and Quad Boenker. Relationships built with the physicians and staff at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Harris Methodist Fort Worth inspired a gift that will offer hope and support to others for years to come. Fred and Mary Attaya similarly chose to honor those who provided more than a year of exceptional care to Fred with a gift of enduring value.
