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.
