1215 – Lunch – inc tours of the Spark studios		John Reith, the first Director-General of the BBC, introduced the public service tradition of British broadcasting through the BBC, to cater for majorities and minorities. Back in the 1970s, BBC local stations were given the responsibility to involve local communities, including the Asian migrant community. This led to the launch of BBC Asian radio programming, which is the foundation of today’s BBC Asian Network. Many British and Asian radio campaigners participated in this historical development by producing Asian radio programmes. Let us celebrate the BBC’s pioneering Asian radio programming through exceptional audio-visual artefacts!     Directed and produced by Dr Gloria Khamkar (Senior Lecturer in Journalism, Bournemouth University, UK)
