BBC

In 1936 the government estab­lished the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) to provide a public service in radio. It also be­gan broadcasting that year on the recently invented television. At first solely through its agency, tel­evision and radio changed the en­tertainment habits and the culture of the nation. In 1955, however, the establishment of independent and commercial television and ra­dio removed the BBC's broadcast­ing monopoly.

In spite of its much reduced evening audience, BBC radio still provides an important service. Its five radio stations (BBC Radio 1-5) provide:

(1) non-stop pop music; (2) light entertainment, (3) minority interests, e.g. classical music, arts programmes and academic material (some for Open University courses); (4) news and comma and discussion programmes; (5) sport. The BBC additionally runs 38 local radio stations, providing material of local interest.

Commercial radio offers three nationwide services Classic FM, which broadcasts mainly classical music; Virgin 1215, broadcasting popular music and Talk Radio UK, a speech-based service.

In addition there are 180 inde­pendent local radio stations which provide news, information, music and other entertainment, coverage of local events, sports commentary, chat shows and 'phone-in' programmes. The latter provide an im­portant counselling service to isolat­ed, aggrieved or perplexed people.
