Late night WOMAN'S hour
Historic Moments:
The radio was dominated by the public service broadcaster (BBC) from the 1920's until the 1960's. During the 1960's pirate radio stations became popular with the younger demographic who were the opposition to the monopoly of power and control the BBC had over the radio industry. The BBC went to great lengths to undermine their rival pirate radio stations banning any reference to them and urging government/ politicians to shut them down.
It was the battle between BBC and pirate radio broadcasters that ended in 1967 that could be seen as a factor in the launch of BBC radio 1 and first poop music radio station.
BBC had a monopoly of pop music radio until commercial radio and introduced in 1973. Commercial - funded by advertisers. Public - funded by public through taxes/ TV licenses.
This popularity of pirate radio stations paved the way for commercial radio to establish itself and allow the industry to develop.
Digital audio broadcasting launched in the UK in 1995 - accelerating usage following popularity of the iPod. DAB listening accounts for 45.2% of listening.
2017 discussion of radio being switched over, like TV, to exclusively digital - no more FM/AM - this is yet to occur.
