“…Named after the daughter of the President of the United States, Caroline Kennedy, Radio Caroline, played non-stop rock music. Although its target market was British youth, within months of going to air, Radio Caroline had a larger listening audience than BBC radio (Humphries, 2003) (Craig, 1990).…”

“…Radio Caroline successfully adopted a funding model based on commercial advertising, with paid advertisements and jingles. An advertising-based model was not a new funding model for radio as it was used in the United States and Continental Europe (Craig, 1990). Its advertisers which provided its entire revenue stream (Venmore-Rowland, 1967) included Pfizer Inc. (Listerine mouthwash), Phensic (headache powders), GlaxoSmithKline (Ribena blackcurrant fruit drink), Bulova Watch Company (luxury watches), Weetabix and Kelloggs (breakfast cereal), Golden Wonder (peanuts), Halex (toothbrushes), Cadburys, Frys and Rowntrees (confectionery), Heinz (food products) and British Petroleum Ltd, which was 51% owned by the British Government (Gilmore, 1967; The Pirate Radio Hall of Fame, 2013).…”

“…The resulting disorder was partly due to efforts to increase power in the affected stations, thereby breaking the plan even more. A few years into the 1950s, it was declared a failure, but efforts to renegotiate were not made until the 1970s (Craig 1990;Wormbs 2013).…”

The "commons" has come to mean many things to many people, and the term is often used inconsistently. The study of the commons has expanded dramatically since Garrett Hardin's The Tragedy of the Commons (1968) popularized the dilemma faced by users of common pool resources.This comprehensive Handbook serves as a unique synthesis and resource for understanding how analytical frameworks developed within the literature assist in understanding the nature and management of commons resources. Such frameworks include those related to Institutional Analysis and Development, Social-Ecological Systems, and Polycentricity, among others. The book aggregates and analyses these frameworks to lay a foundation for exploring how they apply according to scholars across a wide range of disciplines. It includes an exploration of the unique problems arising in different disciplines of commons study, including natural resources (forests, oceans, water, energy, ecosystems, etc.), economics, law, governance, the humanities, and intellectual property. It shows how the analytical frameworks discussed early in the book facilitate interdisciplinarity within commons scholarship. This interdisciplinary approach within the context of analytical frameworks helps facilitate a more complete understanding of the similarities and differences faced by commons resource users and managers, the usefulness of the commons lens as an analytical tool for studying resource management problems, and the best mechanisms by which to formulate policies aimed at addressing such problems.

“…As a non-European country, the U.S. was present only as a non-voting observer concerned with the German stations in its occupation zone as much as with the Voice of America (VOA) and the American Forces Network (AFN), both of which the U.S. State Department saw as key to counteracting Soviet influence. 31 The Soviet Union was a voting member with the advantage of relying on the states within its sphere of influence as an essentially uniform voting bloc.…”

Until recently, broadcasting in Europe has been seen by historians and broadcasters alike as intricately related to national territory. Starting immediately after the Second World War, when West German national territory was still uncertain, this article explores how the broadcasting space of the Federal Republic (FRG) shaped and was shaped by material, institutional, and discursive developments in European broadcasting spaces from the end of World War II until the early 1960s. In particular, it examines the border regimes defined by overlapping zones of circulation via broadcasting, including radio hardware, signals and cultural products such as music. It examines these spaces in part from the view of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), the federation of (then) Western public service broadcasters in Europe. By reconstructing the history of broadcasting in the Federal Republic within the frame of attempts to regulate European broadcasting spaces, it aims to show how territorial spaces were transgressed, transformed, or reinforced by the emerging global conflict.
