Young Radio Pioneer
HE man behind the BBC’s Empire Service is R. A. Rendall, thirty-four years of age, but already one of the pioneers of BBC activities. After leaving Cambridge University Rendall became a BBC announcer, but he always preferred to be in a new job rather than in one of established routine. He passed through "Adult Education," "Group Listening," and "Talks" to Programme Director and Regional Director. He went out to Palestine to advise the Government there on broadcasting. Returning to England he next became Assistant Director of Television and on the outbreak of war joined Overseas Direction and became eventually Director of the Empire Services. He says that what he has liked best about this position has been the opportunity to meet men from the Dominions and Colonies. He has been instrumental in arranging that the Empire Service of the BBC is very largely run by men of the overseas Empire-such men as Bushnell of the Canadian Broadcasting Service, Bob McCall of Australia, and Grenfell Williams of South Africa.
