Now available in five volumes, Asa Briggs' History of British
Broadcasting in the UK provides an exhaustive chronicle of the
BBC's activities, achievements, and personnel - from the early days
of wireless broadcasting and the Corporation's foundation, through
its establishement as a part of home life and role in the Second
World War, to the end of its monopoly and attempts to reflect the
needs of a changing society.
Competition, the latest volume in Asa Briggs' monumental history,
covers a period of 20 years, from the end of the BBC's monopoly in
1955 to the mid 1970s and the volumes it looks at the history of
the BBC in an age of competition, so inevitably contains much
fascinating material on the independent' radio and television
companies as well as the BBC. There are chapters on the reporting
of the Suez Crisis, the Pilkington Committee, the governorship of
Hugh Greene (the man Mary Whitehouse said was responsible for the
collapse which characterized the sixties and seventies'), Radio
Piracy, the introduction of new technologies, and the BBC Jubilee.
