| Summary: | This research demonstrates that jazz programming on the BBC was a major form of output in its first decade, and a vehicle to achieve important institutional objectives. It pushes us to rethink the totalizing narratives of the BBC's past as well as the great-man discourse used in too many histories. This article engages with existing literature on both the early BBC and the foundations of jazz in Britain, and builds upon extensive primary research into the BBC's publications, schedules and programme content, interpreted within a framework of political economy and organizational analysis to reveal new insights. |
