'... a highly imaginative and often very entertaining book ...
which ... probably says more than any other available text about
the limitations and possibilities of present forms of radio.'
Professor Laurie Taylor on the first edition of Understanding Radio
Understanding Radio is a fully revised edition of a key radio
textbook. Andrew Crisell explores how radio processes genres such
as news, drama and comedy in highly distinctive ways, and how the
listener's use of the medium has important implications for
audience studies. He explains why the sound medium, even more than
television, has played such a crucial role in the development of
modern popular culture. The book also introduces students to the
broadcasting landscape in a time of great change for national and
local radio provision. Understanding Radio will be essential
reading both to students of media and to those with a practical
involvement in programme production. This new edition includes: a
revised history of radio bringing the reader right up to date a
brand new chapter on 'talk-and-music' radio, the format adopted by
many of the new stations. Andrew Crisell lectures in communication
and media studies at the University of Sunderland. He has written
widely on radio and co-founded Wear FM, winner of the 1992 Sony
'Radio Station of the Year' award.
