A history of broadcasting, and of its impact on modern life in Britain, from its origins in the 1920s to the outbreak of World War II. How the BBC emerged as a national service in the public interest, addressing all sectors of society in all parts of the country, is the book's central theme.

This is a history of broadcasting and its impact on modern life in Britain from its origins in the 1920s to the outbreak of the Second World War. Its concerns are with programmes and their makers and with the audiences for which they were made. It is a pioneering work of cultural and social history.

Both have worked since the late sixties, at the University of Central London, teaching media studies in the School of Communication, and have written many articles on broadcasting.
