6KH Radio was one of Britain’s early radio stations and the first to transmit within Hull and its environs. It was one of the relay stations set up by the BBC to increase coverage of its UK-wide broadcasting and was designated the ‘6KH’ call-sign representing Kingston-upon-Hull. 6KH Radio began broadcasting on 15th August 1924 using a 200W transmitter at a frequency of 896 kHz and just when commercial radio sets were becoming available to an eager public. 6KH Radio broadcasted a schedule of BBC programs as well as others of local interest, including a Children’s Hour. This is a membership for their Children's Hour Birthday Club.
In 1926, the BBC was nationalised and a change of policy saw the company reorganised into two new radio services, BBC National and BBC Regional. This was made possible with the development of more powerful transmitters able to broadcast over longer distances. This ensured the demise of many relay stations, including 6KH Radio which ceased transmitting on the 31st October 1928.
As standard practise for radio stations and newspapers of the time, each had their own slots for children’s programmes with dedicated clubs that issued welcome packs to new members which would have included their membership badge, such as this one. 6KH Radio also transmitted a weekly 30-minute programme to regional schools each Friday afternoon.
In 1923, the BBC formed Radio Circles, which were clubs for listeners to the Children's Hour programmes. Initially, these were based on local stations such as Manchester (2ZY), Nottingham (5NH), Sheffield (6FL), Stoke on Trent (6ST), Liverpool (6LV), Hull (6KH), etc and each of these stations issued their own distinct membership badge. With the nationalisation of radio under the BBC in 1926 and the developments of better transmitting technology, the local stations had been reorganised into regional ones by 1928. The Radio Circle clubs had also been reorganised and thererafter, each issued a standard badge showing the iconic sunburst, rabbit and cockerel, differentiated only by a bar attached to the badge showing the region's name. The Radio Circle clubs were discontinued by the BBC making their final birthday request broadcast on the 31st December 1933. The BBC stated costs as being the main factor for their decision to end the Childen's Hour Radio Circles.

This week's #flickrFriday challenge was #Repetition - so the first thing I thought of was a typical FM radio studio. Most are unattended for the majority of the day, with an automation system running the same songs over and over on autopilot.

Hundreds of revelers of the annual Santa Con event, gathered outside BBC Broadcasting House in Portland Place. They sung and danced to mobile music players spreading their Christmas cheer to passers by. Police officers arrived to ensure the road was clear.
Designed by G Val Myer, and built in 1932. An iconic building.
Some interesting facts: www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/keyfacts/stories/broadcasting_h...
What the photo does not show is its close proximity to Nash's All Soul's church, with its famous circular porch and spire. An extension to the BBC building on the left is also curved, only concave. All three buildings compliment each other surprising well.
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) asked the Boat School to build three traditionally-built Whitehalls as replicas of the boats used by John Wesley Powell and his group of explorers during their first-ever descent of the Colorado River in 1869. The BBC will film a reenactment of the voyage later in 2013.
Students at the School are building one 16-foot Whitehall, the "Scout Boat", and two 21-foot Whitehalls. Though Powell launched four Whitehalls onto the river in 1869, one, the 21-foot "No Name", was lost to the river shortly after the descent began.
The white oak from which the boats are constructed was supplied by Newport Nautical Timbers www.newportnauticaltimbers.com/ . The 16-foot boat will be planked in larch from eastern Washington, which is as close as it is possible to come to the original white pine planking used on that boat.
Whitehalls are the iconic American pulling boat.
They emerged in New York City and, possibly, shortly thereafter in Boston in the 1830's. It is thought the name derives from Whitehall Street in New York City, though no one is sure. By the mid-19th century, they could be found anywhere there was a sizeable body of water - the East Coast, the Great Lakes, and the Pacific Coast at San Francisco all boasted boatbuilders turning out Whitehalls.
The boats were usually used under oars and occasionally sail as fast harbor ferries and the boat used to take harbor pilots out to meet inbound sailing ships. They have a fine reputation as fast, easy-rowing vessels that are capable of carrying a great deal of weight.
Nearly all Whitehalls were carvel-built with white cedar planking on an oak backbone with oak frames. (Carvel planking means that the planks butted up against each other, edge to edge, which results in a smooth hull). The finer boats were highlighted with a bright sheer plank (the top plank) varnished to catch one's eye.
There is surprisingly little known about the boats used by the 1869 Powell Expedition, the first to descend the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River. We do know that the Powell Expedition boats were built in Chicago IL to Powell's specifications.
It's known that the EMMA DEAN, or the "Scout Boat" as Powell called it was 16 feet long and planked in white pine, that the other boats (MAID OF THE CANON, KITTY CLYDE's SISTER and NO NAME) were 21 feet long and planked in white oak with twice the number of frames and doubled stems and stern posts. (NO NAME was lost to the river shortly after Powell began the descent, though her crew survived).
There are no complete descriptions of the boats themselves, no pictures, and only a few scattered references made to the boats in the surviving journals and records of the Expedition.
The three boats we are building for the BBC are being constructed to the best information available, using the general scantlings provided by John Gardner's historical work, extent plans, our significant experience in building Whitehalls over our 32 years, and the historical data available to us.
The boats will be completed by mid-July, 2013.

From May 1956 until recently, this was the beating heart of regional telly in this part of the North West on the ITV network, but now all that has been transferred to the characterless and frankly unprepossessing Media City on the other side of the Irwell in Salford Quays - a venue shared by the BBC, who also broadcast from the iconic (and should never have been closed) Television Centre. Anyway. this was Quay Street Studios, home to a television station named by founder Leonard Bernstein after his favourite place - the Sierra Granada mountain range in the Andalusia region (pronounced 'Andaloothia') of Spain.
"What Manchester sees today London will see tomorrow" was his proud boast in the year when Britain and France invaded Suez, only for America to tell them to get out of there. Because it wasn't a war they started, they had to get jealous but I digress.
This was also where Richard Madeley (big, BIG fan of Tesco!) met Judy Finnegan who cheerfully told him on his first day at the station back in 1982 that she 'was his mummy' and, let's face it, the years haven't exactly been kind to her!
Of course, I should really have taken a few photos of this in the past when it was an active TV studios but what spurred me into action was Peter Kay's tribute to the station Goodbye Granadaland and that was a week before I took these shots. Why a week you may ask? Well, because I forgot to charge my camera battery the night before I first went (June 16), I had to make do with the camera on an old mobile phone. I only took a few photos with that because I was used to MY camera. Anyway, long story short, as soon as I got home that day, I put the battery on charge and it was ready the following week. This shot is of the main entrance on Great John Street and, if you click on 'All Sizes' you can just about make out where the letters 'GRANADA TELEVISION' would have been on the canopy.
Oh yeah, you may be wondering how the title came about. Well, years ago when the telly started at half nine in the am, they were the words you would have heard uttered in the dulcet tones of Graham James or whoever was announcer that day.
Showing my age, aren't I? But hey, I don't give a fuck!
Historic late 1960s television broadcasting equipment from The Marconi Company inside the Chelmsford and Essex Museum at Oaklands Park in Chelmsford (UK).
The equipment at the back is a television signal transmitter with a Marconi BBC studio camera and other artefacts including a radar thingy at the front.
Heartbreaking to see this engineering from someone who spent 15 years working for the company in manufacturing and the way the 'Marconi' name, the various local factories and all that expertise has been completely lost from the town and history.

相次ぐアナログテレビの不法投棄。
アナログ→デジタル移行がテレビ離れを加速させるとしたら、テレビ嫌いのワタシにとっては願っても無いことですが、地上波放送のデジタル化って、そもそも”誰得”なんでしょうかね。
少なくとも視聴者の得にはなっていないと思われ。
I'm really mad at Fox Broadcasting because they continued the show after when the show got bad as of when Funeral for a Fiend aired. Modern Simpsons episodes such as Funeral for a Fiend have killed the happiness of the late 1990s because modern Simpsons episodes such as Funeral for a Fiend do have scary inappropriate angry behavior like yelling "GOD DAM HELL", telling people to "SHUT UP", yelling "GOD IN HELL", aiming guns, meanly yelling "I'M SO CROSS WITH YOU" and calling someone bad when they are not etc. And modern Simpsons episodes have predictions that upset people like the retail apocolypse and we NEED brick and mortar stores in this world and restoring the old red children slow crossing warning blades that worded "IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO" which they stopped making in 1996 when McDonald's started their new modern yellow eyebrow exterior, making all schools have a Bogen Multicom 2000 system which is not a school appropriate PA System, etc. And modern Simpsons episodes have more of Sideshow Bob trying to kill Bart Simpson and it is in a dark and scary way. Modern Simpsons episodes have scary inappropriate angry behavior because Chief Wiggums aiming his gun is a scary inappropriate angry behavior.OH MY GOSH what is so WRONG about this TV series these days, I know it is okay to get angry but it is not okay to yell "GOD DAM HELL", it is not okay to tell people to "SHUT UP", it is not okay to yell "GOD IN HELL", it is not okay to aim guns, it is not okay to meanly yell "I'M SO CROSS WITH YOU", it is not okay to call someone bad when they are not. Modern Simpsons episodes such as Funeral for a Fiend are just as bad as mean teachers and I had mean teachers in an elementary school called "Holly Springs" in Canton, GA and those mean teachers mistreated me and other people in the school very bad. So broadcasting companies MUST REPLACE modern Simpsons episodes like Funeral for a Fiend with more appropriate and friendlier TV shows like Timothy goes to School, Corduroy the Bear (epsecialy now that he does have two buttons on his overalls forever and that I am writing and producing Corduroy episodes at Nelvana), Marvin the Tap-Dancing Horse, Seven Little Monsters, The Flintstones, Elliot Moose, The Jetsons, Top Cat, Blue's Clues, Blue's Clues & You, Thomas and Friends (the new CGI animated updated version), etc. If you are Fox Broadcasting company YOU NEED TO BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF and only rerun classic Simpsons episodes such as Don't fear the Roofer and Krusty Gets Busted (which are the first 18 seasons of the Simpsons) if you want to broadcast The Simpsons because classic Simpsons episodes like Don't fear The Roofer and Krusty Gets Busted are so hillarious like The Flintstones and do not have the scary bad things like modern Simpsons episodes such as Funeral for a Fiend. Good thing Joshua Dela Cruz and I are restoring the happiness of the late 1990s FOREVER!!!!
