BBC Planning & Installing

Introduction

Any company pioneering it way forward needs to design, procure and assemble its constituent parts. Television production, radio production, web production, transmitters, infrastructure and internal management have become colossal undertakings over the years.

Significant teams of staff were needed. Those involved in the technical, as opposed to architectural, engineering planning and installation were in one department.

BBC

However it was continuously meddled with and so had many many names. Those that I currently know of are:

           Station Design & Installation Department -SD&ID

           Studio Planning & Installation Department -Stu&PID

           Studio Capital Projects Department -SCPD

           Planning & Installation Department -P&ID

           Project Management Services -PMS


As the staff were generally the same for all of the above see page:      Planning & Installing Staff

Then PMS and all the IT staff were annexed into a new wholly owned BBC subsidiary:

           BBC Technology



Siemens

Then this was sold to

           Siemens



ATOS

Then this was sold to:
