Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Manchester is a regional centre for UK media organisations and has a long history of contributions to the local and national media scene. Manchester was an important location for early radio broadcasts in Britain, the first of which were made by the Marconi Company when it began experimental transmissions of a station that was known as 2ZY on 17 May 1922. The British Broadcasting Company was granted a licence for AM radio broadcasts in October of the same year and inaugurated a station called 2LO in London on 14 November 1922, followed the next day by 2ZY, the BBC's official Manchester station. 2ZY made regular transmissions from the Metropolitan Vickers factory in Trafford Park on 800 kHz (375 metres) Medium Wave). In July 1925 the BBC opened a much higher powered transmitter at Daventry, Northamptonshire, which broadcast on 187.5 kHz (1562 metres) Long wave and was receivable across most of Britain. The station was called 5XX and it conducted its first experimental stereo broadcast from a concert in Manchester. The 5XX Long Wave transmitter beamed the right channel and all the local BBC Medium Wave transmitters broadcast the left channel. The BBC opened a central Control Room on Piccadilly in Manchester in 1929 from where many network radio programmes were made or transmitted and several technical innovations were installed - including volume metres, the precursor of the PPM. Radio plays and concerts were staged in an old converted repertory theatre hall in Hulme which was renamed 'The Radio Playhouse'. The 2ZY Orchestra created in 1922 went on to play a pivotal role in ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=23721635 ... Read more

Product Description
A directory of over 700 institutions from Aberdeen to Westminster. The first edition of this book was published in 1987 under the title "Libraries in Colleges of Further and Higher Education". It was produced in response to requests received by Library Association Publishing over a number of years for a directory of basic information about libraries in colleges of differing kinds. This third edition is substantially expanded, and lists institutions with their address, telephone, fax and e-mail numbers (including the new 1995 telephone codes). It also gives hours of opening, and number of staff, size of stock, controlling authority, and the relationship with other departments and institutions. From the indexes users can establish, for example, which colleges are in Cambridgeshire; which colleges have medical collections; and where one can find the Earl Grey collection, the Darwin manuscripts or the Bible Society collection. The book is produced by mailing questionnaires to institutions included in the previous edition, together with additional institutions identified from other sources.Any colleges which have not been included are welcome to request a questionnaire for the next edition. ...
