> Sixteen years' worth of world events are steadily
> beeping and crackling their way into broadcast history
> at Montreal's Concordia University.
> 
> In all, the tapes contain about 9,000 hours worth of
> newscasts from the BBC World Service, systematically
> recorded from short-wave radio by the late Denis
> Diniacopoulos between 1970 and 1986, while he was a
> professor in Concordia's Communications Studies
> Department.
> 
> Now, the Concordia Centre for Broadcasting Studies
> (CCBS), which was bequeathed the recordings after
> Diniacopoulos' death in 1997, is transferring them
> onto CD-ROM to turn them into a unique archive. Not
> even the BBC has kept the newscasts.
