H.M.S. Richards began his "Voice of Prophecy" radio program in 1930 on KNX in Los Angeles. By 1980, the time this cover was issued, the program had achieved global reach, marking 50 years of continuous broadcasting.
1. The Signatories: The "Kings" of Religious Radio
The HMS Richards family and Del Delker were to religious radio what the Shermans were to Disney—they defined the sound of the era.
H.M.S. Richards (H.M.S. Richards Sr., 1894–1985): The legendary founder of The Voice of Prophecy (1929). He was a pioneer in using radio for global ministry and is considered the "Father of Seventh-day Adventist Broadcasting."
H.M.S. Richards Jr. (Harold Jr., 1923–2000): His son, who took over the broadcast in 1969 and continued the legacy for decades.
Del Delker (1924–2018): The "First Lady of Seventh-day Adventist Music." She was the star contralto soloist for the program for over 50 years. Her voice was synonymous with the broadcast's theme songs.
K.E.H. Richards (Kenneth Richards): Another member of the Richards dynasty (the family was deeply involved in the production and ministry).
2. The "Golden Jubilee" Significance (1980)
The date August 28, 1980, and the "50 Years, Golden Jubilee" cachet mark the exact 50th Anniversary of the founding of The Voice of Prophecy (1930–1980). This cover was likely signed at the Jubilee Celebration in Hollywood, California.

Date: Installed December, 1992.
Hundertwasser comment about the work:
This monument is a token, a landmark serving as an ambassador for a peace treaty between men and nature. (...) A consciousness of eternal cycles in harmony with nature and human creation becomes vital, just as timeless constant values, the knowledge of the cosmos where no up and no down exists, no right and no left. It is not the time, which is important but the cycle which develops in organical, beautiful form. Time should create new life, slowly, in spiral form, vegetativ and creative. Time should not destroy past time, should not create last panic before the time of tomorrow. The idea of counting time is a human misleading idea, an invention like the straight line, but there is only eternity developing in an organical cycle. (...) The same water is permanently flowing through the purification plant. The way of the water through the roots of the plants takes about 1 hour. The roots of these waterplants are producing oxygen and are turning what we call dirt into plant substance. We become witness of a permanent purification and renewal process in harmony with the laws of nature. (excerpt from Hundertwasser's text of August 1992) (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 1261)
Information:
Hundertwasser designed the ecological monument for the Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS) in commemoration of the company's fiftieth anniversary in 2001. The digital display of a Citizen Clock, which could be read from both sides, counted down the days to the anniversary. The monument was erected on the TBS grounds in Midoriyama/Yokohama in December 1992 and moved to Akasaka in 1994. The accompanying program upon arrival of this event with the theme "Our Beloved Planet, Earth" was focusing on the everchanging Japan, the global environment and mankind. (Source: hundertwasser.com).

Broadcasting House - the Headquarters of the BBC (the British Broadcasting Corporation) -in Portland Place, London - painted by Stephen B Whatley in September 1992.
One of a series of the artist's architectural paintings that he uniquely paints on location, this painting was purchased by the BBC months after its completion; one of 5 architectural paintings by Stephen B Whatley that the Corporation has in its collection.
The BBC also acquired Stephen's paintings of 'Bush House - Tribute to 60 Years of The BBC World Service' (1992) and BBC Television Centre (1994); before going on to commission two BBC interiors from the artist in 2001: 'The BBC Radio Theatre' (which is situated in Broadcasting House) and 'The Top Of The Pops Studio' (painted on location at BBC Television Centre, during rehearsals & filming of the music programme).

The many phamplets and booklets issued by the BBC in conjunction with their Schools Broadcasting Services echoed the contemporary policy of illustrations in their other publications such as the Radio Times in that many artists and illustrators were commissioned. This 1937 Biology phamplet, for the Spring Term, is no exception in that the cover work is by John Maxwell, one of the most significant Scottish artists of the Twentieth Century. Maxwell (1905 - 1962) was born and for many years was based in Dalbeattie and he had strong connections over the years with the Edinburgh College of Art.
The cover is unusual in that it does not include the BBC's title - I wonder if that was a simple oversight by the artist on the basis that there was only one broadcaster in the UK at the time? Maxwell pictures an amazing scene of a child, with light (or possibly a sunflower) in hand illuminating the natural world. I'm sure he also undertook the lettering and borders. The programme series was Scottish based with all the contributors being from Scottish institutions and it may have been a Regional programme.
WEEK 16 – Elsewhere around Greenville
(4/4)
Today, the Delta News cluster of stations has made it into the big leagues and is being operated by a legitimate broadcasting group – Cox Media Group, which owns, among others nationwide, WHBQ Fox 13 in Memphis – following consummation of a 2019 sale of its previous owner’s entire portfolio. There haven’t yet been signs of any changes to the news operation, though, and perhaps there won’t be at all; but it’s certainly an interesting prospect to think about. There’s an entire topic dedicated to DMA 193: The Delta News over on the TVNewsTalk forums. (Yes, the DMA number slipped by one rank since that topic was created.)
Among the unique, perhaps slightly technical points of interest touched on in that topic: while it may make sense for the news operation of the Delta to be combined, how on earth are all the major networks in a single market able to be controlled by one owner?! Many of you may not know this, but FCC rules actually make it illegal for a station owner to own more than two stations in any given market. What makes the difference here is that, as is also explained in this topic, “the FCC's multiple ownership rules are blind to subchannels and low-power stations.” If you look at it that way, then Cox is totally in the clear, as Greenville only has one full-powered station: WABG, the ABC affiliate. Fox operates on a subchannel of WABG, and WNBD-LD is a low-powered station on which both NBC and CBS are aired.
Per these rules, the owner could actually launch additional stations in the market if they wanted to… which is exactly what they did, twice. In 2019 they revived the old WXVT full-powered signal as Ion station WFXW, and in 2017 they created WXVT-LD, reusing the old call signals, as a repeater of WNBD-LD. (I’ve probably lost some of y’all with that info, but I find it fascinating. And also surprisingly well-documented online. Check out the substantial Wikipedia articles for each of the stations: WABG, WXVT, WNBD, WFXW.)
One final point is that, as a direct consequence of its small market size, Greenville can never keep a steady staff of newscasters. Except for some folks who are there for the long haul, most everyone you’ll see one day may not be there the next, as there’s a never-ending stream of departures and new faces. This is because small-market stations are commonly willing to hire young journalists right out of college (or heck, even while they’re still enrolled, in some instances), giving them their first shot to get on-air and then, if they’re lucky, launch their career to a bigger market in the future. In Memphis, we see this same pattern play out approximately every three years (the usual length of a contract) with certain non-veteran reporters, but in Greenville, it’s a way of life.
This might not be the best thing for the residents. But, on the flip side, it’s great for the journalists. Countless newscasters got their start in Greenville, and have moved on to bigger and better things across the country. In Memphis, this includes Fox 13’s Brittani DuBose, and Local 24’s John Bryant and Ed Echols (incidentally, all meteorologists. All Mississippi stations, not just Greenville, have a continuous supply of those, since Mississippi State University has, I believe, one of the best broadcast meteorology programs in the nation. Memphis Retail currently works at WCBI in Columbus). A quick Google search for the term “Greenville, MS” in TV station bios turns up folks in Baton Rouge, Columbia, Oklahoma City, Fort Smith, Dallas, Youngstown, Milwaukee, Nashville, and more.
Even national newscasters can trace their roots back to Greenville. Among these are “Dateline NBC” correspondent Andrea Canning, who got her start at WXVT… as well as “Today Show” anchor Hoda Kotb, who has more than once retold the story of how WXVT took a chance on her and jump-started her career. I’d say it paid off big-time! Read more about her story from SiriusXM and Hotty Toddy News. (I gave you a lot of links in a short time today, but you really must check out these two. The rest are optional.)
----------------------
Back to the present, the WXVT building at 3015 E Reed Road continues to sit empty, CBS eye staring off into nothingness and the doppler radar behind the building no longer scanning the skies. But, I’d say it had a life well-lived.

"Are you listening?
No - In the narrowest sense
Are you listening?
I can hold you down by candlelight
With indifference
Let the comfort start
I love you on your right side
It happens
Promises broken
Reasons let go
It happens
Are you listening?
I know it's a sin but tell me it happens"
Broadcasting tower is a new high-rise student accommodation building in Leeds city centre. One of its most interesting features is the COR-TEN cladding, which, upon exposure to weather, develops a rust-like layer, protecting it from any more corrosion.
Most of the people I know are not very fond of how the tower looks, but it's hard to deny that its interesting facade and unusual angular shapes make it a very suitable object for photography :)
