Subject: BBC shortwave archive created


Collection of BBC news tapes provides rich loam for
scholars


Sixteen years' worth of world events are steadily beeping and crackling their 
way into broadcast history at Montreal's Concordia University.  

In all, the tapes contain about 9,000 hours worth of newscasts from the BBC 
World Service, systematically recorded from short-wave radio by the late Denis 
Diniacopoulos between 1970 and 1986, while he was a professor in Concordia's 
Communications Studies Department.  

Now, the Concordia Centre for Broadcasting Studies (CCBS), which was bequeathed 
the recordings after Diniacopoulos' death in 1997, is transferring them onto CD-
ROM to turn them into a unique archive. Not even the BBC has kept the 
newscasts.
