An Introductory History of British

Broadcasting

In An Introductory History of British Broadcasting Andrew Crisell provides a concise

and accessible history of British radio and television. This book considers the nature

and evolution of broadcasting, the growth of broadcasting institutions and the relation

of broadcasting to a wider political and social context.

Beginning with the genesis of radio at the turn of the century, Crisell

discusses key moments in media history, from the first wireless broadcast

in 1920, to issues which affect the media today. The topics covered include:

the evolution of the BBC from private company to public institution

notions of public service broadcasting and the cultural values of the BBC

broadcasting in wartime and the golden age of radio

the rise of television and the birth of ITV

the changing role of radio in a television age

BBC 2, Channel 4 and the development of minority television

the rise of cable and satellite TV

the convergence of broadcasting and other media

As well as discussing individual programmes and programme genres, the author

offers insights into phenomena which are closely bound up with broadcasting such

as advertising, pop music, sport, questions of artistic judgement, high and popular

culture, patterns of leisure and employment.

An Introductory History of British Broadcasting analyses the current state of

broadcasting in Britain and argues that the era of traditional broadcasting is coming

to an end. Looking to the future, Crisell discusses recent developments in satellite,

cable, information technology and telecommunications. He considers the debates

which surround the future of the BBC, audience interactivity, digitization and

globalization, access, ownership and control.

Andrew Crisell lectures in Media and Communications at the University of

Sunderland. He is the author of Understanding Radio.
