On the right, television pioneer John Logie Baird's "Garrick Television and Wireless Console", his top of the line model for 1946 (a whole 150 guineas, only for the well-heeled).
The massive machine on the left is oldest surviving colour television in the world. It's a General Electric GE950 model, a strange hybrid of John Logie Baird's mechanical "colour wheel" system and the (to us) more common cathode ray tube, made as a prototype in 1946 in anticipation of a license for colour broadcasting in the US. The licensing didn't come until late 1950 so only a handful of these monsters were made, now residing in the Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh
The corten steel cladding has finally started to go on to the Broadcasting Place development. It's designed to gradually weather to form a maintenance free coat of rust, with a pleasing appearance.
EDIT. Actually I should say the cladding has started to be uncovered. It's been going up, then protected by wooden framing and a (presumably waterproof) membrane.
Will be interesting to see how it changes over time. There have also been a couple of high profile "disasters" with it!

Broadcasting House Reimagined by Emma Bennett

Digital Print on aluminium. Brentnall Centre, Gilkes Street, Middlesbrough
Broadcasting House Reimagined is a painting that responds to the architecture of the Middlesbrough building, Broadcasting House. The painting reflects the actual outline of the building, then by using vibrant colour combinations and patterns the artist has reimagined the exterior to signify the building’s uniqueness and beauty."

This photograph probably depicts the Australian Broadcasting Commission 22-piece Military Band (also known as the National Military Band) with a conductor, possibly Stephen Yorke, performing on board a small vessel with an Australian Broadcasting Commission commentator. A Royal Australian Navy heavy cruiser - either HMAS AUSTRALIA or HMAS CANBERRA - can be seen in the distance.
This photo is part of the Australian National Maritime Museum’s Samuel J. Hood Studio collection. Sam Hood (1872-1953) was a Sydney photographer with a passion for ships. His 60-year career spanned the romantic age of sail and two world wars. The photos in the collection were taken mainly in Sydney and Newcastle during the first half of the 20th century.

I imagine this telegram was saved because the meeting with Roger Clipp, who was general manager at Philadelphia radio station WFIL and who was described as Walter Annenberg's right-hand man, led to Tony (who can be seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/guyclinch/33293488705) being hired and becoming a very popular announcer in Philadelphia. [My guess is quite wrong; Tony worked at WFIL by 1939 and possibly earlier.]
Tony's career in radio, which had really progressed very well, came to an end too soon when he died at age 41 of some kind of liver ailment.
Here's the text of an article on his death from the March 24, 1951, Binghamton, New York, newspaper:
Tony Wheeler
Rites Monday
In Owego
Funeral services for Anthony
Klem Wheeler, 41-year-old radio
announcer who was described to-
day as "one of the first real disc
jockeys in the business" will be
held Monday in his native Owego.
Mr. Wheeler, familiarly known
to Southern Tier radio audiences
as "Tony Wheeler" succumbed at
City Hospital at 5:30 p. m. yester-
day to a chronic liver ailment.'
He had been admitted to the
hospital Thursday. He had been
ill for about a year and had been
admitted to the hospital last
December for treatment and was
discharged early in January.
Services will be held at 2 p. m.
at the Estey and Munroe Funeral
Home, Park Street, Owego. The
Rev. Edgar Frank, pastor of Pres-
byterian Union Church, will of-
ficiate. Burial will be Evergreen
Cemetery, Owego.
At the time of his death, Mr.
Wheeler was employed at Station
WINR where he recently replaced
his announcer-son, William Wheel-
er, who has been drafted.
Mr. Wheeler was born in Owego
June 12, 1909, the son of Ezra and
Jenny Klem Wheeler. He was
educated in Owego schools.
He became an employe. of sta-
tion WNBF about 1930, beginning
his career as a radio engineer. He
obtained a radio license and was
second in command of engineering
at WNBF until about 1934.
Cecil D. Mastin, general man-
ager of WNBE, said today Mr.
Wheeler "was one of the fastest
code transmitting
men in the
business."
"Tony became very interested
in announcing from 1933 on and
acted in the dual capacity of an-
nouncer - technician during that
period. He was one of the first
real disc jockeys in the business,"
he said.
In 1940, Mr. Wheeler joined Sta-
tion WFIL, Philadelphia, Mr. Mas-
tin said, and "there he very soon
established a reputation as being
the outstanding announcer in the
city."
He returned to WNBF to
serve for one year as chief an-
nouncer in 1947. He later was em-
ployed in Rochester.
Besides his parents, with whom
he lived at 72 Forsythe Street,
Mr. Wheeler is survived by his
sons, William, stationed at Camp
Dix, N. J ., and John, of Philadel-
phia, and a daughter, Joan, also
of Philadelphia.
