Funded Activity Summary

Beyond the Bakelite Box: A History of Commercial Radio in Australia. Beyond the Bakelite Box is the first full-scale history of commercial radio in Australia. It is an economic history of commercial radio from its origins in the 1920s to the present day, examining the factors that transformed amateur telegraphy into a means of mass communication, the dynamics of radio advertising, and the emergence and expansion of interlocking media dynasties. It is a political history, addressing the awarding and regulation of licences, the use of radio by politicians, and censorship. It is a cultural history, exploring programming genres, the construction of radio 'communities', and the relationship between commercial and public sector broadcasting.
