The Centenary of British Radio Broadcasting

This talk, from renowned historian, author and CSES collaborator Tim Wander, celebrates centenary of the first broadcast in Britain, the inventors, and the impacts on our communications worldwide ever since.

Did you know that the world's first radio station started in Writtle in 1922? Called 2MT ("Two Emma Toc"), this humble – and somewhat experimental – enterprise operating from a small hut ultimately became the BBC as we know it today.
