The History of Broadcasting in the United Kingdom: Volume II: The Golden Age of Wireless

Bok av Asa Briggs
This is the second of a five-volume history of Broadcasting in the United Kingdom. This volume covers the period 1927-1939, from the BBC's establishment as a public corporation to the outbreak of war. During this time wireless was seen as a part of home-life, and this volume discusses the extension and enrichment of the activity of broadcasting, with chapters on programmes, the listeners and their needs, and the coming of television.
