First BBC Broadcast

BBC’s first live public broadcast was produced from the factory of Marconi’s Wireless Telegraph Company in Chelmsford in June 1920. It was sponsored by the Daily Mail’s Lord Northcliffe and featured the renowned Australian soprano Dame Nellie Melba. The Melba broadcast caught the people’s imagination and marked a turning point in the British public’s attitude to radio. 

However, this public morale was not shared in official circles where such broadcasts were held to interrupt important military and civil communications. The British Broadcasting Company was founded in 1922. Four years later, it modified its name to the British Broadcasting Corporation, better known as the BBC, and that is how it has stayed ever since. It was not the world’s first radio station. There had already been public radio broadcasts in Britain before 1920, and by 1922 radio stations were operating in Russia and in America.
