Draft:Transdiffusion Broadcasting System

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

https://transdiffusion.org/about/ :

Transdiffusion Broadcasting System was founded in 1964 by a group of school children led by Kif Bowden-Smith.[1][2][3] They wanted to run their own radio station....In 1966, Transdiffusion began the National Radiotape Network, which provided private subscribers and hospital radio stations with regular ‘Radiotapes’ of general entertainment programmes created by the contributor members, who had developed individual brand names for themselves. These programmes were then edited together centrally for redistribution. As time progressed, Transdiffusion split NRN into two services, the General Network providing drama, comedy and light entertainment, and the Music Network, which provided a melody-based format....In 1972, Transdiffusion merged with Electromusications, another school-based tape recording network, running in the English midlands....As the 1970s gave way to the 1980s, the fashion for circulating tapes diminished, and the National Radiotape Network closed....The organisation was largely dormant from the mid-1980s until 1998, when it was relaunched as a result of the growth of the Internet as a new organisation unrelated (except for the founder, Kif Bowden-Smith) to the original Transdiffusion....Transdiffusion is dedicated to using modern methods of communication to educate and inform on broadcasting history. We do this by making available Transdiffusion’s broadcasting archive for research and educational purposes.[4]
