The history section just doesn't feel right and probably needs some work.Samoli 23:55, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I have neutralised the tone of the article, and completely removed the history section for now. UCB have an interesting history which is certainly worth adding, but the tone of the existing history section was inappropriate. It only really covers the buildings they have occupied and looks to be lifted almost directly from their web site:

UCB started in 1986 and the first office was a borrowed bedroom in a Christian's flat with a second-hand filing cabinet and a single phone. They later moved to a larger office housed in Cauldon Buildings, an old warehouse in Stoke-on-Trent.

In 1994 UCB purchased the Hanchurch Christian Centre situated on the edge of Stoke-on-Trent. Work was completed in 1999 opening a dedicated facility for UCB's media organisation.

2004 saw UCB purchase an additional building to house the operations side of UCB. This building was an old call centre in the heart of Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, that had been empty for four years. Currently the Hanchurch centre acts as the broadcast centre for UCB providing the source of TV, Radio and online media output.

It would probably be appropriate to include something about their role in the development of Christian broadcasting in the UK Samoli 23:55, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
