Description
KISS FM: From Radical Radio To Big Business is a detailed and critical account of the contemporary UK radio industry. First published in 2011, this book tells three interconnected stories: the struggle for London pirate radio to become a legal black music station, the transformation of KISS FM from a small pirate station into a leading youth brand, and the launch of one of the most successful UK radio stations of its era. Author Grant Goddard draws on his own experience in radio, which began in 1972, as well as extensive research, to paint a comprehensive picture of the industry. The book is informative and interesting for those interested in the history of black music in Britain, music radio, media start-ups, and the government's efforts to regulate pirate radio. With over 500 pages and more than 1,000 research sources, this book provides a unique insight into the UK radio landscape.
