Description and Table of Contents
Description
A detailed history of the BBC in Scotland, this book traces its growth from the first local radio station in the 1920s through to the 1980s when the BBC provided two network TV channels with Scottish opt-out programmes, a national radio channel for Scotland, and many area and community radio stations and network radio services. The author places Scottish development within the wider UK context and shows how the BBC in Scotland has developed as part of a centralized broadcasting organization. The book is based on extensive research and features statistical information. The author relates Scotland to other BBC regions and provides a comparative study of independent broadcasting. This book should be of interest to students undertaking media and communications courses in the UK, and to organizations dealing with the arts and the media. It is mainly directed at undergraduate and postgraduate students, but may also be useful for project work by secondary school pupils.
