Communications Revolution
1. TV and radio are also two of the main teaching channels used by the Open University. This 'university of the air allows many thousands of students to study at home for degrees they never would have obtained in the main educational system. They also have to do without sleep as most of their programmes are broadcast early in the morning or late at night.
2. 'Top of the Pops' is a programme that has been shown every week on BBC TV for many years. Each week computers in a number of record-shops throughout the United Kingdom show how many copies of a record have been sold that week. The new chart, issued each Tuesday evening, shows which singles have sold the most copies during the previous week. With this information, the show's producers decide which songs will be played. Usually it will be those moving up the charts, or the new releases which the disc jockeys (usually called DJs) think will be 'hits'. Of course, each week the show finishes with the number one single. Bands either appear live in the studio, or in a video recording made specially to sell the record. These videos have become so important in the last few years that they can help to make a record a hit.
3. Today many radio and television stations bring entertainment, news, cultural programs to people. The United Kingdom is experiencing a communications revolution. Millions of television viewers pay a monthly fee and watch television transmitted over cables. Cable television is popular and increases the number of its channels every year.
