In 1995 Paul Rusling and his daughter Dawn co-edited a book called Who's Who in British Radio. This was a directory of people working in the radio business, in front of and behind the microphone. This sold so well they published a further edition in 2002 which was around 600 pages long.
Who's Who in British Radio 2002 met with considerable success, despite its hefty price tag of £29.95 per copy. For many years it was an important reference work for people in the radio business.
The 1996 edition of Who's Who in British Radio is now out of print and the 2002 edition is no longer on sale via bookshops, but we found a case of them in our warehouse and are now offering copies for less than £7, including P&P. You can pay by any card or PayPal, but do it soon as, once these are gone, there will; not be any more. A great souvenir and details of many of the best known (and lesser known backroom boys and girls) in British radio.
The book is a fairly thick one, with 576 pages of text and pictures of many of your favourites. It will give anoraks and radio afficonados many happy hours - it's also educational. Offered as an historical souvenir and for reference; the book has not been updated for twenty years.

An up-to-date "How To" guide for anyone thinking of starting their own radio station. It's a fully comprehensive guide that considers the very latest radio broadcasting scenario, where broadcasting has now split into two very different routes.
While traditional broadcasting via the ether has continued to thrive, the use of the internet to carry radio and TV programmes to the global audience has exploded. This is largely due to the medium of internet streaming being free of government licensing. Would be broadcasters need only comply with legal requirements regarding libel and slander, and pay copyright fees for commercial music they might broadcast. So far, over 110,000 stations have been launched.
The Laser Radio Programming book has 175 pages describing radio programming policy and techniques of the major offshore stations, but especially Radio Caroline, Laser and the Laser project's 'grandad' whose style and fresh format inspired the founders, the 1966 super station - Swinging Radio England.
The book includes Laser's full Operations Manual and a discussion on the format, music playlisting, strap lines, trailer production and other techniques that Laser used to attract an audience of ten million listeners in the UK & Benelux.
The book also looks at how the Laser name, imaging and ethos has been used to change radio since. There are details of radio ships YOU can visit; not one, not two but THREE radio ships! The book has a full listing of all the Laser DJ's and biographies. Pictures too!
