Bbc Radio 3 0

History

Radio 3 is the successor station to the Third Programme which was originally launched on 29 September 1946. The name changed on 30 September 1967 when the BBC launched its first pop music station, Radio 1. The three other national radio channels were then renamed Radio 2, (formerly the Light Programme), Radio 3 and Radio 4, (formerly the Home Service). Radio 3 took over the service which had been known under the umbrella title of the Third Network and which included on the same frequency the Third Programme itself, the Music Programme and various sports and adult education programmes. All the component programmes, including the Third Programme, kept their separate identities within Radio 3 until 4 April 1970, when there was further reorganisation following publication of the BBC document Broadcasting in the Seventies.

Broadcasting in the Seventies

In July 1969, the BBC published the document Broadcasting in the Seventies, later described by a senior BBC executive, Jenny Abramsky, Head of Radio and Music, as “the most controversial document ever produced by radio”. Prompted partly by the problem of rising costs, one of its main thrusts was the move towards “generic” stations, each catering for a defined audience. One early option under consideration was the reduction of the four radio networks to three, and “Day-time serious music would be the casualty”. Radio 1, Radio 2 and Radio 4 would broadcast during the day time, while in the evening Radios 1 and 2 would merge and Radio 3 would broadcast on the vacated frequency. Rumours were circulating that Radio 3 would be abolished altogether, with The Guardian stating that there was a strong “statistical case” against the station. However, the Director-General, Charles Curran, publicly denied this as “quite contradictory to the aim of the BBC, which is to provide a comprehensive radio service”. Curran had earlier dismissed

Bryce’s Pet Peeves of the Week 0

Posted on December 03, 2010 by Jennib And Friends

“Never trust a person who doesn’t have at least one known vice (e.g., drinking, smoking, swearing).”
- Bryce’s Law

INTRODUCTION

On August 1st of last year, my “Management Visions” (MV) broadcast premiered on the Internet. MV is a free Internet broadcast (aka “Podcast”) that is updated weekly (on Mondays) and is made available in MP3, WMA, and RealPlayer file formats (the RealPlayer is accompanied by graphics). During the broadcast, I discuss subjects related to Information Resource Management IRM), review upcoming events of interest, and review e-mails from listeners. I also describe my “Pet Peeve of the Week” which represents items irritating me at the moment. This has turned into a popular part of the show and, as such, I am including them herein for those of you who missed the broadcast. Hopefully, you will be able to relate to some of these peeves. They are meant to offer some humorous insight into current topics of interest. I hope you will enjoy them. Please note that these are my own opinions and do not necessarily represent the opinions of my company or any other group.

AUGUST 8, 2005 – BOUNTY COMMERCIAL

My “Pet Peeve of the Week” is a Bounty commercial I recently heard on the radio while driving into work the other day. Now as many of you know, Bounty is Proctor & Gamble’s “Quilted Quicker Picker-Upper” paper towels, which I don’t have a problem with as such. We use Bounty in our house. However, the new radio ad described it as having “a new blue-dot quilting” that results in a “high resolution shine.” Frankly, when I heard this I burst out laughing. People in the cars next to me must have thought I had lost my mind. “High resolution shine”? I guess it seems funny to me to see something as mundane as paper towels go “high tech”. Ah, you gotta love Madison Avenue I guess.

AUGUST 15, 2005 – MICROSOFT WINDOWS

My “Pet Peeve of the Week” is Microsoft’s

Positive Effects of Christmas Music for Children 26

Posted on November 22, 2010 by Jennib And Friends

Just as November slips into December and the winds get a little wintry, there is a sudden spurt of enthusiasm in the atmosphere. You can feel the change in the way everybody reacts and talks and there is a festive mood everywhere. You are confronted with the ‘”Sale” sign wherever you go and quite suddenly, the shopping bug bites you too. You hardly feel like working anymore in the offices and even the discussion there is centered on Christmas. Children too join in and are swept away by the preparations leading to the big night. It is quite natural for Christmas music for children to join the popularity ranks too. Kids music plays a huge role in the celebrations and children find their own way of making the occasion a memorable one.

Special Place For Music

It has been widely discussed that music has a special place in the life of every kid. It influences his entire life and helps to add purpose to his life. His happiness is expressed through music and his desolate moments also find solace through soulful music. But Christmas music for children has scaled new heights with kids getting attracted to it like nothing else. There will hardly be a single soul who has not heard of Santa Claus and “Jingle Bells”. Children wait with bated breath to open their stockings and find the presents which Santa has gifted them. And if these gifts include personalized kids CDs, then they are really overjoyed.

Learn About The Culture

Christmas music for children has a special role to play in the life of every child. They not only get into the Christmas mood and enjoy all the festivities going round but also get to know more about the culture through these songs. Christmas is the time to remember Jesus Christ and celebrate his birth. The carols sung during Christmas are all tributes to the great son of God. It is important for the children to learn more about their religion and how the Christmas
