Radio Stations & Radio Broadcasting

From a distance it looks like a cathedral, but however it is the former long-distance transmitter "Radio Kootwijk" that maintained the radio traffic between the Netherlands and their former colony of Indonesia.
The "Cathedral" consists of concrete in which no iron or steel has been processed, so as not to disturb the radio signal.
The architect Julius Luthmann was inspired for the design by the German "Telefunken" broadcasting station and the Giza Sphinx, which can bee seen from the "front legs" that formed the entrance.
The "pond" in front of the building was the cooling water reservoir that the immense transformers and generators had to cool.

Tokyo Skytree Tōkyō Sukaitsurī is a broadcasting, restaurant, and observation tower in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan. It became the tallest structure in Japan in 2010 and reached its full height of 634.0 metres in March 2011, making it the tallest tower in the world, displacing the Canton Tower, and the second tallest structure in the world after Burj Khalifa.
The tower is the primary television and radio broadcast site for the Kantō region; the older Tokyo Tower no longer gives complete digital terrestrial television broadcasting coverage because it is surrounded by high-rise buildings. Skytree was completed on 29 February 2012, with the tower opening to the public on 22 May 2012.
The tower is the centrepiece of a large commercial development funded by Tobu Railway and a group of six terrestrial broadcasters headed by NHK. Trains stop at the adjacent Tokyo Skytree Station and nearby Oshiage Station, and the complex is only 7 km north-east of Tokyo Station.
Garden of The Gods with Pikes Peak, Colorado Springs
“I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in.”
- George Washington Carver
Garden of the Gods State Park attracts more than two million visitors a year, which is not surprising considering its incredible beauty and unique landscapes. Popular for hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking and horseback riding, it’s a wonder that the area has not been elevated to be a full National Park. Just west of Colorado Springs, home of the US Air Force Academy, it is free and can get very busy during peak hours. And the park is absolutely worth the trip to see it.
The striking red rock formations which rise hundreds of feet into the sky were created during a geological upheaval along a natural fault line millions of years ago. The largest outcroppings you see here are sedimentary layers that have been pushed up vertically and are composed primarily of Lyons Formation, a stone made of fine sand from ancient sand dunes. While they seem deep from this angle here, they are actually relatively shallow formations and look like fins when viewed from the north or south. North Gateway Rock is on the right and rises 320 feet (98 m) above the valley floor. In the middle is the South Gateway Rock, with Kindergarten Rock (AKA Gray Rock) on the left.
Just above North Gateway Rock in the distance is famous Pikes Peak, standing tall at 14,115 feet (4,302 m). The mountain is named in honor of American explorer Zebulon Pike, though he was unable to reach the summit in 1806 due to snow and lack of provisions at the time. The peak has a storied history, but it is famous worldwide for the annual Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, a rally car race held since 1916 that features over 150 turns, many of which are hazardous.
The shot: I really wanted to get those beautiful clouds in motion, so I used Lee Filters’ Big Stopper to get 25 seconds of exposure. It was late morning however and in retrospect it probably was not a wise choice. It caused some serious post processing issues which needed the help of my wonderful friend Rui Baptista to save the shot. Thank you again Rui, lesson learned.

Once again we are at Lake Shuswap where we are frequently privy to some amazing sunsets. I have an "old haunt" picked out that gives me direct access to the far mountains, and the setting sun during summer. Again, mother nature delivered her finest and I captured a few images.
The next night we shared the sunset and enjoyed a late dinner on the beach. The sky can be as entertaining as any tv show, as scenes change with each passing moment. Every night channel NBS delivered award winning entertainment that we enjoyed from the comfort of our chairs.

Der "Landessender Beromünster" war ein Mittelwellensender auf der Frequenz 531kHz für die deutschsprachige Schweiz. Er nahm seinen Betrieb am 11. Juni 1931 auf und stellte ihn 31. Dezember 2008 mit der Abschaltung des Trägersignals ein. Der hier zu sehende Blosenbergturm kam 1937 hinzu. Er hat eine Höhe von 215 Metern und machte das Programm in weiten Teilen Europas empfangbar. Heute steht er unter Denkmalschutz. In seiner aktiven Zeit gehörte er zu dem, was man heute wohl als "kritische Infrastruktur" bezeichnet.

The "Landessender Beromünster" (Beromünster National Broadcasting Station) was a medium-wave broadcast station on the frequency 531kHz for German-speaking Switzerland. Operation commenced on June 11, 1931 and ceased on December 31, 2008 when the carrier signal was switched off. The Blosenberg tower, which can be seen here, was added in 1937. It is 215 meters tall and made the programme receivable in large parts of Europe. Today it is a listed building. In its active days, it was part of what is now called "critical infrastructure".

Visiting these attractions is a unique experience, offering breathtaking views of Tokyo's beauty and vastness from great heights.
Sumida, Tokyo, Japan
In some parts of the world agricultural practices have not changed for thousands of years. This photo, taken in the Iranian deserts near Hamedan shows a farmer scattering (broadcasting) seed by hand over his land.
Broadcasting House, Leeds. It’s won various national and international Architecture awards, and is a building that divides opinion. One thing I’m certain of is that the designer didn’t account for Peregrine Falcons nesting on the side of it...
Broadcasting Tower is a university building in Broadcasting Place in Woodhouse Lane, Leeds, England. It houses the Faculty of Arts, Environment and Technology, while the main tower section consists of student flats.
It was designed by Stirling Prize-winning architects Feilden Clegg Bradley. It is clad in COR-TEN weathering steel, which has given it the rust-like appearance it is known for.[
Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Skytree:
Tokyo Skytree (東京スカイツリー, Tōkyō Sukaitsurī) is a broadcasting and observation tower in Sumida, Tokyo. It became the tallest tower in Japan in 2010 and reached its full height of 634 meters (2,080 ft) in March 2011, making it the tallest tower in the world, displacing the Canton Tower, and the third tallest structure in the world after Merdeka 118 (678.9 m or 2,227 ft) and the Burj Khalifa (829.8 m or 2,722 ft). It is the tallest freestanding tower in the OECD, the G20 and G7 countries.
The tower is the primary television and radio broadcast site for the Kantō region; the older Tokyo Tower no longer gives complete digital terrestrial television broadcasting coverage because it is surrounded by high-rise buildings. Skytree was completed on Leap Day, 29 February 2012, with the tower opening to the public on 22 May 2012. The tower is the centrepiece of a large commercial development funded by Tobu Railway (which owns the complex) and a group of six terrestrial broadcasters headed by NHK. Trains stop at the adjacent Tokyo Skytree Station and nearby Oshiage Station. The complex is seven kilometres (4.3 miles) northeast of Tokyo Station. Sumida Aquarium is in the Tokyo Solamachi complex.
Design
The tower's design was published on 24 November 2006, based on the following three concepts:
Fusion of neofuturistic design and the traditional beauty of Japan
Catalyst for revitalization of the city
Contribution to disaster prevention – "Safety and Security"
The base of the tower has a structure similar to a tripod; from a height of about 350 m (1,150 ft) and above, the tower's structure is cylindrical to offer panoramic views of the river and the city. There are observatories at 350 m (1,150 ft), with a capacity of up to 2,000 people, and 450 m (1,480 ft), with a capacity of 900 people. The upper observatory features a spiral, glass-covered skywalk in which visitors ascend the last 5 metres to the highest point at the upper platform. A section of glass flooring gives visitors a direct downward view of the streets below.

I thought that I imagined the state that a picture of TV flew here steadily such from far away that I would be glad if I was TV.
On December 1, 2012 in Civic Center, Bunkyo ward .
The new building on the site of the old Egton House. It's not as big as I thought it was going to be... I thought it was supposed to be a big, full-size mirror of the old building.
Broadcasting House is the headquarters of the BBC, in Portland Place and Langham Place, London. The first radio broadcast from the building was made on 15 March 1932, and the building was officially opened two months later, on 15 May. The main building is in Art Deco style, with a facing of Portland stone over a steel frame. It is a Grade II* listed building and includes the BBC Radio Theatre, where music and speech programmes are recorded in front of a studio audience.
The head of BBC history, Robert Seatter, has said George Orwell in his novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), "reputedly based his notorious Room 101 from the novel "on a room he had worked in whilst at the BBC."
In 1985 it was revealed by The Observer that MI5 had had a special office in the building from 1937 for the purpose of vetting BBC employees for national security purposes.

According to Wikipedia, there are no fewer than 40 radio studios and 17 television studios inside. All your favourite BBC radio programs and news channels are recorded here by the looks of it.

86/100 London landmarks by night
Commenting disabled. Thanks for viewing!
I tried the photography that combined a magnifying glass with #extrabokeh on that day. My camera bag becomes bigger.
By the way, the pictures with the magnifying glass, I named it #glassporthole.
On March 31, 2015, it is Shinjuku, the Roppongi area at Nerima government office.

2015年3月31日、練馬区役所にて、新宿・六本木方面。
After the visit to the cat cafe we decided to make our way to Battersea, walking back a slightly different route to Oxford Circus to catch the Tube. I was surprised to pass these London landmarks.
This shows the exterior of Broadcasting House, the headquarters of the BBC in London.
A new East wing, built in the same Portland stone as the original Broadcasting House, balances the existing construction. The two buildings are linked by a glass-fronted extension, allowing visitors and passers-by to witness the BBC's daily activities. The glass was specially treated to create varied lighting effects throughout the day.
An integrated lighting scheme for the site also embraces the neighbouring All Souls' Church. The Broadcasting House complex surrounds a new central 'piazza' space, a new public destination in central London, with facilities including a cafe and performance area. (From BBC.com)
The main building was refurbished, and an extension built to the rear. The radio stations BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 4 Extra and the BBC World Service transferred to refurbished studios within the building. The extension links the old building with the John Peel Wing, and includes a new combined newsroom for BBC News, with studios for the BBC News channel, BBC World News and other news programming. The move of news operations from BBC Television Centre was completed in March 2013. The official name of the building is "Broadcasting House" but the BBC, until 2024, used the term "new Broadcasting House" (with a lowercase 'n') in its publicity referring to the new extension rather than the whole building, with the original building known as "old Broadcasting House". (From Wikipedia)
Took a run over to Leeds today for an event on the opening of a building, across the road is a building that I did the concept and scheme design for before moving onto another project. This is an part shot of the teaching space for Leeds Met University which is in the process of being clad.
This shows some of the newer Cor-Ten panels which have yet to weather in in contrast to some of those that have already weathered in and got their rusty colour.

This pirate-broadcasting-tower-turned-restaurant played a rebellious role in the history of Dutch television.
The restaurant known as REM Eiland wasn’t always an architectural oddity in the Amsterdam port of Houthaven. The 80-foot-tall, red-and-white tower was originally a pirate radio and TV station in the North Sea, and it gave Dutch viewers their first taste of commercial television.
It was 1964, and up to that point, there’d only been state-sponsored television. From the tower, a channel called TV Noordzee broadcast shows such as Zorro, Rin-Tin-Tin, and Mr. Ed, along with commercials. While viewers were entertained, the government was not: The tower’s location in international waters allowed TV Noordzee to circumvent Dutch laws. But this rebellion was short-lived: Four months after TV Noordzee launched, the government found a way to use the 1958 Geneva Convention to justify restructuring offshore territorial boundaries. And with that, REM Eiland fell under Dutch control. On December 17, 1964, marines raided the tower and shut down operations.
The government used the tower as a site for measuring ocean temperatures and salt levels before dismantling it and bringing it ashore in 2006. But just when REM Eiland seemed like it might disappear for good, new owners purchased it and started renovations (including adding another floor and losing the helipad) to turn it into the restaurant it is today.
