BBC Radio


Radio is a service of the British Broadcasting Corporation which
has operated in the United Kingdom under the terms of a Royal Charter since 1927. For a history of BBC radio prior to 1927 see British Broadcasting Company, Ltd.
BBC Radio 1 to 7 are based in London, but programmes are also made in Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Glasgow and Manchester.[1]


The BBC radio services began in 1922. Which was licensed under pressure to provide a radio service for the British public. It was licensed by the British Government through its [General Post Office] which had original control of the airwaves because they had been interpreted under law as an extension of the Post Office services. Today radio broadcasting still makes up a large part of the corporation's output and this is still reflected in the title of the BBC's listings magazine called '[Radio Times]'.
