    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). In order to deal Lennox-Boyd, Under Secretary for with the consequent mutual charging for site faci- Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, is fully lities a computer database has been established, automated and is the UK's first high-power HF which deals with the complicated charging system transmitting station to be operated as a remote and maintains records of NTLfacilities on BBC sites.

    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.

  • Independent Television Producers in England
    Negotiating Dependence: Independent Television Producers in England Karl Rawstrone A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts and Creative Industries, University of the West of England, Bristol November 2020 77,900 words. Abstract The thesis analyses the independent television production sector focusing on the role of the producer. At its centre are four in-depth case studies which investigate the practices and contexts of the independent television producer in four different production cultures. The sample consists of a small self-owned company, a medium- sized family-owned company, a broadcaster-owned company and an independent- corporate partnership. The thesis contextualises these case studies through a history of four critical conjunctures in which the concept of ‘independence’ was debated and shifted in meaning, allowing the term to be operationalised to different ends. It gives particular attention to the birth of Channel 4 in 1982 and the subsequent rapid growth of an independent ‘sector’. Throughout, the thesis explores the tensions between the political, economic and social aims of independent television production and how these impact on the role of the producer. The thesis employs an empirical methodology to investigate the independent television producer’s role. It uses qualitative data, principally original interviews with both employers and employees in the four companies, to provide a nuanced and detailed analysis of the complexities of the producer’s role. Rather than independence, the thesis uses network analysis to argue that a television producer’s role is characterised by sets of negotiated dependencies, through which professional agency is exercised and professional identity constructed and performed.

Stuart Hall, the presenter - staff perceptions A The premises (i) Broadcasting House, Piccadilly Gardens 5.1 The BBC’s Regional Manchester news operations moved from Dickenson Road to the Piccadilly premises in 1959 and were based there until 1981. 5.2 We do not have formal plans of the Piccadilly premises but have been given informal plans and detailed descriptions by a number of witnesses, some of which are not entirely consistent, which is unsurprising given the time that has elapsed. Plans based on the informal plans provided by a witness who worked at the Piccadilly premises, which are not to scale, are at Appendix 3. We have also been able to construct a picture of the premises based upon the various accounts of the witnesses who described them. 5.3 The Piccadilly premises were shared with the National Westminster Bank which was located on the ground floor of the building. The BBC and the bank shared an entrance, and the BBC’s premises 29 were accessed by passing the internal entrance to the bank, walking down a corridor and taking a lift to the upper floors.

Descriptive accounts from industry insiders (Potter 1989,1990; Sendall 1982,1983) and others (Bonner & Aston 1998) richly supplement these academic business histories.
