What are the major event in Radio history?
A Little History...
Radio development began as wireless telegraphy. Radio became prominent in this country in 1926 due to the miner's strike, all newspapers were shut down and people had no way of getting information to one another. Information and instructions were broadcast over the radio.
BBC Radio is a service which has operated in the UK since 1922. BBC Radios 1 to 7 are based in London but programmes are also made in Belfast, Birmingham,Bristol , scotland, Manchester. All BBC Radio channels are available on DAB radio and also on the internet.
WWII silenced all but one of the original IBC stations, only Radio Luxembourg continued its nightly transmissions to Britain as a commercial radio station featuring American-style entertainment and religion.
Beginning in 1964 the first in what became a fleet of 10 offshore pirate radio stations began to ring the British coastline. By 1967 millions were tuning into these commercial operations and the BBC was rapidly losing its radio listening audience
The British Government reacted by imposing the "Marine Offences Act" a law which wiped out all of the stations by midnight on 14 August 1967.
Radio Scandals
Radio scandals include Russell Brand and his Radio 2 co-presenter, Jonathan Ross, left obscene messages on Sachs's answering machine. Ross said Brand had slept with his granddaughter; Brand subsequently called back and left another message, a song joking that the older man might now kill himself. This was pre-recorded and not live – and that it was subsequently allowed by Radio 2 executives to be broadcast.
The Sony Radio Academy Awards
The first Sony Radio Academy Awards were held in 1983, at that time there were only 35 commercial radio stations and 4 BBC networks. The Sony Radio Academy Awards are some of the most prestigious awards in the British radio industry.
Digital Switchover
The Digital Switchover is set for 2015. Radio stations are only going to be Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) by the end of that year. Analogue radios will become useless and car radios will need to be converted at a cost of £55+ at a time. The switchover will lower costs for radio broadcasters who currently have to pay to transmit their services twice - once on FM and once on digital.
