The history of the radio

The history of the radio:

The radio has been the first device to allow for mass communication. It has allowed for information to be transferred far and wide, not only nationally but also internationally.The development of the radio began in 1893 with Nikolai Teslas demonstration of wireless radio communication in St. Louis, Missouri. His work laid the foundation for those later scientists who worked to perfect the radio we now use. 

 

The history and development of radio in the UK:

The BBC was formed in 1922 as number of radio manufacturers who came together to promote this new idea. The government thought that broadcasting was too important to be left out. BBC Radio started as local radio, partly for technical reasons, as it was not at first possible to re transmit the same programme to different areas but now it is broadcasted all over the UK. It is now known as BBC Audio and Music The service provides national radio stations covering the majority of musical genres, as well as local radio stations covering local news, affairs and interests which also oversees online audio content.
