" The awards began in 1977 as part of the commemoration of the Queen’s Silver Jubilee and as an annual event in 1982 under the auspices of the British record industry's trade association, the BPI. The last BPI Awards show was the first of the ceremonies to be broadcast on television, by the BBC, and in 1989 they were renamed the Brit Awards. MasterCard has been the long-time sponsor of the event.
The Brit Awards were broadcast live until 1989, when Samantha Fox and Mick Fleetwood hosted a widely criticised show in which little went as rehearsed.
Subsequently, the event was pre-taped and broadcast the following night.
This was part of a revamp by Jonathan King, who created the "BRITs" moniker, and organised a new look show. "
Sitting in front of the TV screen, I shall be eating a large portion of fresh, rare, Aberdeen Angus horse... oops, beef... roasting as we speak; special juice gravy; green peas; roast potatoes, crisp and golden; Alsace white wine, icy cold.
