ABSTRACT
Beginnings are always exciting. The pioneer in radio is a creative artist whose canvas can span the globe and whose target is the hearing ear and the understanding heart. Policy must determine the pattern of planning, and imaginative ideas supply the content and quality of programmes. It was perhaps natural that a broadcasting company whose General Manager was the son of a Scottish Minister should give high priority to religion as a regular ingredient of its output. Mr Reith wrote that he had been more concerned about the religious policy of the BBC in matters great and small than anything else.
