Warning: your wireless is exploding

Article Abstract:

BBC Radio has been taking steps to respond to the growing challenge from commercial radio stations, but has found it difficult to gain public support for new programme formats. There is a stronger degree of intimacy between radio and its audience than between television and its audience, and listeners become very attached to certain presenters, causing considerable problems for radio producers when these presenters leave. More radio stations are being set up, but audience levels are not rising, and many young people never listen to the radio at all.

The highest bidder wins. Or maybe not

Article Abstract:

The four bids for the licence to run the UK's new Channel 5 have attracted considerable attention, as they have not followed predictions. New Century Television, the BSkyB/Granada consortium, had been expected to submit the highest bid, but was in fact the lowest bidder, at only 2 million pounds sterling a year. The highest bidder was the little-known Canadian company CanWest UK TV. There is now considerable speculation about why Rupert Murdoch, via New Century Television, submitted such a low bid.
