Fix this textRADIO NETWORK,
Fix this textBROADCASTING HOUSE
Fix this text/"\NE of the finest examples of modern
Fix this textarchitecture in London is Broadcast-
Fix this texting House, headquarters of the British
Fix this textBroadcasting Corporation, which stands
Fix this textlike a ship in Langham Place, near
Fix this textOxford Circus. This impressive building
Fix this textwas designed by Val Myer in the shape
Fix this textof a massive oval, covering an area of
Fix this text20,000 square feet, and was built in 1931.
Fix this textTwo years later the Corporation moved
Fix this textthere from Savoy Hill, where it was first
Fix this textestablished under the famous call signal
Fix this text2LO.
Fix this textThe building relies for its appearance
Fix this texton the skilful grouping of masses of
Fix this textstone rather than on ornament. The little
Fix this textornament it has to relieve its dignified
Fix this textsplendour is a sculptured group of Ariel
Fix this textand Prospero by Eric Gill, which appears
Fix this textover the main doorway. In order to
Fix this textdeaden outer sound no steel was used in
Fix this textthe building of the tower, where the
Fix this textstudios are protected by immensely thick
Fix this textwalls. The largest room in the tower is
Fix this textthe concert hall, which occupies three
Fix this textfloors in depth, and its walls are decorated
Fix this textby friezes depicting scenes suggestive of
Fix this textdancing, poetry and the harvest. The
Fix this textCouncil Chamber is panelled in light
Fix this textTasmanian oak, and its long tables are
Fix this textbuilt of walnut from Queensland. The
Fix this textmusic library, with more than 50,000
Fix this textpieces of music for singers, orchestras and
Fix this textmilitary bands, is perhaps the biggest in
Fix this textthe world.
Fix this textDuring the Second World War the
Fix this text8.8. C. broadcast in forty-six different
Fix this textlanguages, and was a priority target for
Fix this textenemy bombers. The building received
Fix this textthree’direct hits, but broadcasting was
Fix this textmaintained throughout these attacks, and
Fix this textthere was no interruption of programmes.
Fix this textThe 8.8. C. is free from commercial
Fix this textbroadcasting, and for listeners in Britain
Fix this textit transmits three main programmes—
Fix this textthe Home Service, the Light Programme
Fix this textand the Third Programme. In addition
Fix this textto these domestic services and television,
Fix this textthe 8.8. C. broadcasts to listeners overseas
Fix this textin English and over forty foreign
Fix this textlanguages.
