Acknowledgements
I would like to express my gratitude to all those who have helped me in the course of researching and writing this book. I would particularly like to thank colleagues at Bournemouth University’s Centre for Media History; Emeritus Professor Sean Street whose knowledge of radio history, the radio industry and programme making quite rightly places him as one of the leading academics and practitioners in the field; Professor Hugh Chignell whose academic input in the field of radio history is well documented and whose theoretical approach to the study of radio helped me appreciate the value of radio as a subject for serious academic scrutiny; and Dr Kristin Skoog who provided the necessary encouragement and support as well as proffering considered, thought-provoking and much valued feedback. I would also like to thank Professor Paul Long at the Birmingham School of Media at Birmingham City University for his careful consideration of my research in this area. I would like to thank the archivists at the BBC Written Archives Centre at Caversham and in particular Jess Hogg who offered great assistance and patience at all time
