Who started the BBC?

The BBC, or British Broadcasting Corporation, was established by a group of wireless manufacturers in 1922, with John Reith serving as its first director-general. The organization was initially formed as the British Broadcasting Company Ltd. and was later transformed into a public corporation in 1927. Reith's vision and leadership were instrumental in shaping the BBC's mission to inform, educate, and entertain.

When was the BBC first broadcasted?

The BBC made its first scheduled radio broadcast on November 14th 1922. It took another three years to offer coverage across most of the UK. It is interesting that the BBC was formed only one month before the broadcast by Marconi and other radio manufacturers. They wasted no time in getting on with their task. 14 years later, it began the first regular television broadcasts, on 2nd November 1936. Two rival systems were employed but within a very short space of time, John Logi Baid's system was dropped in favour of an all electronic "high definition" system. The television service was short lived as only two years later, war broke out across Europe. The BBC stopped television broadcasts during the war and offered only radio. The BBC website carries a more complete history on its website. Take a look at http://www.bbc.co.UK/heritage/story/index.shtml.

BBC 2 is the first color television channel?

In the UK, BBC 2 was indeed the first colour television channel. It started in 1967 and used the new "high resolution" format of 625 lines instead of the 405 lines that had been use on the black and white broadcasts. Within 3 years, BBC 1 and ITV had adopted the new format and also began broadcasting in colour. Although the broadcast format supported colour, only a few hours of colour television were broadcast each week during the 1960s. By 1973 the great majority of output was in colour on all three channels.
