The BBC is well covered in a book first published just after the war and reprinted again a number of times through the years, again an excellent narrative of the covering of the war. Through the years this book has been printed in both hardcover and paperback the photos are not always of the best quality in some of the paperback versions and different photos are included in different additions.bbcstudios.com The first edition printed I believe in 1946 which I once was able to borrow from Dartmouth College Library had the highest quality pictures and the most. Recently the CBC revised their web site to include recordings made by these units and men. Link to the sound recording as well as some interesting video clips.
Some interesting photos have recently become available on the web through the Library and Archives Canada these photos are of particular interest is that these are higher resolution photos with good detail.twitter.com Like the photo below showing the recording equipment on the hood of the Jeep. If you have any information about the this Broadcasting history I would like to hear from you. I am also looking for one of these portable disk recording units. In the summer of 2001 finally made it to London and there at Bush House (right) I saw one of the BBC portable recording units used by the BBC. Needless to say if anybody happens to have one of these sitting around gathering dust I would be very interested in it.
The UK state-owned broadcasting network. It operates television and national and local radio stations, as well as a content-based Web site, and is financed by the sale of television (originally radio) licences. It is not permitted to carry advertisements but it has an additional source of income through its publishing interests and the sales of its programmes. The BBC is controlled by a board of governors, each appointed by the government for five years. The BBC was converted from a private company (established in 1922) to a public corporation under royal charter in 1927. Under the charter, news programmes were required to be politically impartial. Television Television services began in 1936, although they were suspended from 1939-46 during World War II.
A second channel, BBC2, was launched in 1964, aimed at minority interests, and in 1991 BBC World Service Television began broadcasting English-language transmissions round the world. News 24, a 24-hour news channel, was launched as a cable and digital service in 1997, and the expansion into digital television continued the following year with the introduction of BBC Choice. In 2002 further digital channels were launched, including two children's channels and BBC4, a channel devoted to culture and the arts.

The BBC is adding "LIFE" to its drama lineup. The new series hails from writer Mike Bartlett and producer Drama Republic, the team behind the popular drama "Doctor Foster," which was a hit for BBC One in the U.K. Bartlett is one of the U.K.’s top writers. His new show is set in the northern English city of Manchester, in a large house subdivided into apartments. Billed as an epic saga, the six-parter follows what happens when residents decide to step out of their own personal space and take a closer look into other people’s lives. "LIFE" examines each of the flats and "the belief in the human capacity to connect, to care, to love and to change," the producers said.
"It’s hugely exciting to be working with Drama Republic and the BBC again, to tell a brand-new, epic story about seemingly ‘ordinary’ people who turn out to be anything but," said Bartlett, who will also executive produce.wikipedia.org BBC drama chief Piers Wenger added: "Mike’s talent for creating extraordinary characters and recognizing powerful truths in ordinary life singles him out as one of the most popular, compelling writers of our age. Ben Irving will executive produce the series for BBC One, and filming gets underway shortly in Manchester. There are no cast details yet. BBC Studios will take the series out internationally. It fared well with "Doctor Foster," selling it into more than 100 territories and getting remakes underway in France, Russia and South Korea. Roanna Benn and Jude Liknaitzky will produce for Drama Republic ("Wanderlust"). "We are so happy to be reunited with Mike and the BBC after making ‘Doctor Foster’ together," they said.

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is the principal public service broadcaster in the United Kingdom, with its headquarters at Broadcasting House in the City of Westminster, London. It is the largest broadcaster in the world, with about 23,000 staff. Its main responsibility is to provide public service broadcasting in the United Kingdom, Channel Islands and Isle of Man. The BBC is an autonomous public service broadcaster that operates under a Royal Charter. Outside the UK, the BBC World Service has provided services by direct broadcasting and re-transmission contracts by sound radio since the inauguration of the BBC Empire Service in December 1932, and more recently by television and online.
The privately owned BBC was the world's first national broadcasting organization and was founded on 18 October 1922 as the British Broadcasting Company Ltd. The original company was founded in 1922 by a group of six telecommunications companies—Marconi, Radio Communication Company, Metropolitan-Vickers, General Electric, Western Electric, and British Thomson-Houston—to broadcast experimental radio services. The first transmission was on 14 November of that year, from station 2LO, located at Marconi House, London. The British Broadcasting Company Ltd was created by the British General Post Office (GPO) and John Reith applied for a job with the existing company and later became its employee general manager.
The company was wound-up and on 1 January 1927 a new non-commercial entity called the British Broadcasting Corporation established under a Royal Charter became successor in interest. To represent its purpose and values, the Corporation adopted the coat of arms, including the motto "Nation shall speak peace unto Nation". The motto is generally attributed to Montague John Randall, former headmaster of Winchester College, and member of the first BBC Board of Governors. Experimental television broadcasts were started in 1932 using an electromechanical 30 line system developed by John Logie Baird. Digital media ventures are also incorporated right across each business area.
In the UK, BBC One and BBC Two are the BBC's flagship television channels. Several digital only stations are also broadcast: BBC Three, BBC Four, BBC News, BBC Parliament, and two children's channels, CBBC and CBeebies. BBC One is a regionalized TV service which provides opt-outs throughout the day for local news and other local programming. These variations are more pronounced in the BBC 'Nations', i.e. Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, where the presentation is mostly carried out locally on BBC One and Two. BBC Two variations within England are currently rare, though most regions still have the ability to 'opt out' of the main feed, albeit on analogue only.
A new Scottish Gaelic television channel, BBC Alba, was launched in September 2008. It is also the first multi-genre channel to come entirely from Scotland with almost all of its programs made in Scotland. The service is currently only available via satellite and cable television. In the Republic of Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands and Switzerland, the BBC channels are available in a number of ways. From 9 June 2006, the BBC began a 6-12 month trial of high-definition television broadcasts under the name BBC HD. The corporation has been producing programs in the format for many years, and states that it hopes to produce 100% of new programs in HDTV by 2010. On 3 November 2010, a high-definition simulcast of BBC One was launched.
Since 1975, the BBC has also provided its TV programs to the British Forces Broadcasting Service (BFBS), allowing members of UK military serving abroad to watch and listen to them on two dedicated TV channels. In 2008, the BBC began experimenting with live streaming of certain channels in the UK, and in November 2008, all standard BBC television channels were made available to watch online. The BBC's online presence includes a comprehensive news website and archive. A new version of the BBC homepage was launched in December 2007, with the new site enabling the user to customize the BBC's internet services to their own needs. This, on 28 February 2008, was made permanent.

In the 1980s, the BBC developed several PCs, most notably the BBC Micro. The BBC has traditionally played a major role in producing book and music tie-ins with its broadcast material. Older domestic UK audiences often refer to the BBC as "the Beeb", a nickname originally dubbed by Peter Sellers in The Goon Show in the 1950s, when he referred to the "Beeb Beeb Ceeb". It was then borrowed, shortened and popularized by Kenny Everett. Income from commercial enterprises and from overseas sales of its catalogue of programs has substantially increased over recent years, with BBC Worldwide contributing some £145 million to the BBC's core public service business.

As we all know about a well known channel of London "British broadcasting corporation "BBC, which is providing coverage of whole world. They are covering political, economical social, though every current issue around the whole world.

During the 2012 London Olympics the BBC offered 24 sports events as live feeds on both HD and SD on satellite and cable. The total viewing time was around 2,500 hours. BBC viewers were able to access the different sports events with ease via the red button or EPG.

This additional capacity will be used to broadcast five SD streams and one HD stream.
I don’t normally do this, but I think this case is quite exceptional. This doesn’t have anything to do with Marvel Omnibuses, but it’s something I feel very strongly about, so please read on. As you may know by now, Doctor Who Confidential has been axed. For any Doctor Who fan, this is terrible news, but it also affects those interested in the television industry. Confidential has been going since 2005, and has provided us with hours and hours of entertainment, but is also hugely informative, adding an extra layer to the BBC1 flagship programme - the perfect companion to the best TV show ever. What’s worse, there’s no reason for its axing.
This actually means nothing. Confidential is an original, British show, and is also unique to BBC3. Furthermore, recent plans released by the BBC have revealed that BBC3 and BBC4’s main job, from now on, is to support the shows on BBC1 and BBC2. Confidential does exactly this. BBC3 have such a bad reputation, so it’s absurd that they decommission the one show that draws a significant audience. In recent editions, a voiceover begged Confidential viewers to carry on watching BBC3 after the programme finished! This move feels less like a cost-cutting measure, and more like the new BBC3 Controller, Zai Bennett, throwing his new-found weight around and axing for axing’s sake. Okay, so what can you do about it?
It’s a simple process, but hopefully will be effective. All you have to do is add your name. And maybe the names of all your family and friends (obviously after asking them!). But please, do it before Friday 28th October 2011. The aim is to get 50,000 signatures by then, and they’re on 47,513 as I write this. 28th October is Save Doctor Who Confidential Day… as well as Matt Smith’s Birthday! Later in November, Zai Bennet, who made this terrible decision, will appear on Points of View. Feel free to inundate the show with your complaints too. "It seems hard to grasp.
All shows have their time, and all shows end, but not, in all sanity, while people still watch and love them. And going by the numbers and the outcry, this show was watched and loved everywhere.theguardian.com "I’m not supposed to say it, but I’m going to anyway: bad day, bad decision. I know these are straitened times. I know we’re all at sea and the night is colder - but you don’t start burning the lifeboats to keep warm. And he’s 100% right. Please BBC. Don’t do this. Thanks for reading and doing your bit. I really appreciate it. If just one more signature results from this blog, then it’s worth it. And remember: you’re the license fee-payer. Tell the BBC what you want doing with your money!
"We’re delighted to be bringing such an accomplished journalist to the University of Miami," said Greg Shepherd, dean of the School of Communication. Jordan, the director of editorial policy and standards at the BBC, is coming to the university in connection with the School of Communication’s London Summer study abroad program. Students will be in London for three weeks next summer, from July 5 to 27, studying at some of the world’s most influential public relations, advertising, and journalism organizations. Jordan, who joined the BBC nearly 30 years ago, will be showing UM students the newsroom of the BBC, introducing them to senior editors and reporters and talking about the business side of broadcasting.

The British Broadcasting Corporation Ltd. 138) in 1997, this annual fee for a color license generated 95 percent of the BBC's revenues. The BBC derives its authority from a royal charter granting it the right to operate throughout the United Kingdom. The history of this august institution parallels the history of broadcasting itself. On the evening of November 14, 1922, Arthur Burrows, the company's first director of programs, read two news bulletins from Marconi House in London.
These were the first daily transmissions at the BBC. The following day, radio stations opened in Manchester and Birmingham, and by the end of the month, British radio enthusiasts could tune into five hours of broadcasting daily. Despite the fact that the original broadcasters had little experience in the field--or perhaps because of it--the standards they established in both news service and children's programming set the tone for decades to come. Their success was partially due to the influence of John C. Reith who, at the age of 33, became the company's first general manager. Reith was a Scottish war veteran with a background in engineering and a clear vision of what public broadcasting could achieve if run by an idealistic team.
He determined company policy and dictated the program mix. In Reith's first year at the helm, programming expanded to include outside broadcasts of opera and theater, daily weather forecasts and live commentaries of sporting events. To keep track of this range of programs, the BBC published a guide called the Radio Times, that included scheduling information, commentaries, and articles on the development of the new medium. By the end of 1923, an experimental broadcast had reached America, and a Radiola Paris transmission had been relayed to listeners in the south of England. Meanwhile, the number of U.K. BBC had increased to 10 while the number of employees had risen from four in December 1922 to 177 in December of the following year.
