This book explores the contrasting responses to the South Asian
diaspora in Britain of BBC local radio and BBC network radio. It
highlights the hidden history of how BBC local radio stations
developed a schedule of five thousand hours a year of programmes
targeted at South Asian communities in England.  Local
radio stations at the periphery of the BBC built deep and
influential connections with marginalised Asian communities,
creating the BBC Asian Network in 1989 and played an influential
part in building local social cohesion. This contrasts with central
BBC policy that reveals a management culture resistant to change
and unable to embrace an increasingly diverse Britain - creating a
problematic legacy for the BBC.  Finding a New British
Asian Sound brings new insights into current debates around
policy and institutional racism at the BBC, where South Asian
programming on local and network radio remains at risk of
closure.Â
