[edit] Further reading
I've added a new section to the article, listing the one book that I have on the subject. Why? There's a daft argument going on at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Radio and TV station notability at the moment, with members of the American WikiProject Radio Stations claiming that if some of their less-notable radio stations are deleted, it's a slippery slope and articles like this one will have to go too (!) See e.g. this edit So I just wanted to point up the difference as they seem unable to find any independent sources for their stations. If anyone has more books, they could add them too - not just because of this petty matter, but also because it would be a useful thing to have here anyway. --Smalljim (talk) 12:08, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Legal status of old recordings?
The main page of this article could be improved with a paragraph added about the legal status behind BBC radio programs from the 1930s. Were any of the broadcasts recorded, and if they were, are they now, wholly or in part, in the public domain?
Are there any sources for recordings of BBC programs from the 1930s? Dexter Nextnumber (talk) 01:00, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Cost of advertisements in the 1930s
The main page of this article would be improved if someone posted the gross budget available to the BBC in the years from its beginning in 1926 to today's modern era. Don't correct it for inflation, and don't try to speculate what its legitimate expenses were, just post the annual gross revenue, which I guess is bound to reflect revenue collected from advertising.

[edit] "London Calling"
Can someone add material to this article on the use of this phrase by london bbc radio. the factoid exists on WP (see London Calling (novel)), but is not referenced to a source. i suppose i could do it, but i wont right now. seems an important part of bbcs history.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:29, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
