File: LR003208 - Alfred Bradley (interview 14) - no date.wav Duration: 0:39:10 Date: 31/07/2017 Typist: 715 START AUDIO Interviewer: A history of north regional broadcasting, interview number 14, Alfred Bradley. Radio's very first play was broadcast from Station 2LO London on the 15th November 1922. The day after Broadcasting England first began and it was heard in the children's programme but the north region can probably boast the first adult play written for wireless. L. du Garde Peach was the author. It came from the British Broadcasting Company's Metrovix studio and was broadcast by Station 2ZY. By the start of the 1930s far more Northerners were hearing plays than seeing them in the theatre. They were produced by the likes of Jan Bussell, Cecil McGiven and by Edward Wilkinson. The radio dramatic feature became the invention and hallmark of Geoffrey Brideson and Frances Dillon, Olive Shapley and Joan Littlewood all working from North region. By the 1940s James R Gregson had started a school for Radio Playwrights at the Leeds Studios. No history of North Regional Broadcasting would be anywhere near compete without BBC Regional Drama's most distinguished name, that of Alfred Bradley who's with me now. 0:01:19 Alfred you joined in 1959? Alfred Bradley: Yes, I came from a strange job. I was drama advisor in Leicestershire. I suppose I started off wanting to be an actor and I grew out of that very quickly. Found I was better at directing than acting. I couldn't be bothered to remember the lines.

Daily broadcasting by the BBC began in Marconi's London studio, 2LO, in the Strand, on November 14, 1922. John Reith, a 33-year-old Scottish engineer, was appointed General Manager of the BBC at the end of 1922. October 1922 - 2LO launched Following the closure of numerous amateur stations, the BBC started its first daily radio service in London – 2LO. Aer much argument, news was supplied by an agency, and music drama and 'talks' filled the airwaves for only a few hours a day. It wasn't long before radio could be heard across the nation. https://www.bbc.com/historyofthebbc/timelines/1920s 1/7 9/9/2019 1920s - History of the BBC Pathe News marks the start of 2LO in a cinema newsreel.

Professor Jeremy Summerly 17 September 2020
RADIO IN THE 78 RPM ERA (1920-1948) PROFESSOR JEREMY SUMMERLY 17 SEPTEMBER 2020 At 7.10 pm on 15 June 1920, a half-hour broadcast was given by Australian prima donna Dame Nellie Melba (‘the world’s very best artist’). Singing from a workshop at the back of the Marconi Wireless and Telegraph Company, the 59-year old soprano described her Chelmsford recital as ‘the most wonderful experience of my career’. The transmission was received all around Europe, as well as in Soltan-Abad in Persia (now Arak in Iran) to the East, and Newfoundland (at the time a Dominion of the British Empire) to the West. Dame Nellie’s recital became recognized as Britain’s first official radio broadcast and the Daily Mail (predictably, perhaps, in its role as sponsor) described the event as ‘a great initiation ceremony; the era of public entertainment may be said to have completed its preliminary trials’. The Radio Corporation of America had been founded a year earlier, run by a young Russian- American businessman David Sarnoff. Sarnoff believed that ‘broadcasting represents a job of entertaining, informing and educating the nation, and should therefore be distinctly regarded as a public service’, words that were later echoed more famously by John Reith of the British Broadcasting Company. On 11 May 1922, daily radio transmissions of an hour began from the 7th floor of Marconi House at London’s Aldwych. The Marconi Company’s London station was known as 2LO and its first concert (for voice, cello, and piano) was broadcast on 24 June; the Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII) broadcast from Marconi House on 7 October.

Development of the BBC A.M. Transmitter Network. Rev 6A
Rev 6a (28/5/2007) Development of the BBC A.M. Transmitter Network (compiled by Clive McCarthy) Introduction The British Broadcasting Company, under the chairmanship of Lord Gainford, was formed in October 1922 to set up a broadcasting system as outlined in a plan sanctioned by the Postmaster General in May 1922. This allowed for eight areas of Britain to have a local transmitter, of power 1.5 kW. From this original scheme, the BBC developed the network of high power stations that became so familiar. 1922 to 1929 Eight stations established, having an aerial power of about 1 kW, in main cities. Each city provided programmes from its own studio. Music quality land lines didn’t exist at first, but simultaneous broadcasting started in May 1923 over trunk telephone circuits, with regular London news bulletins to other stations from August 1923. Main stations Tues. November 14th 1922 2LO LONDON (Marconi House) on 369* metres. Wed. November 15th 1922 5IT BIRMINGHAM (Witton) on 420* metres. Wed.

The wavelengths shown thus * are as given in Wireless World November 1972, page 509. (Another source gives 2ZY initially on 375 metres.) Several areas of large population were unable to receive a satisfactory signal on a crystal set, and additional stations were needed.
