    History of Radio in India

    • •Radio was invented in 19th century. Guglielmo Marconi


    started radio broadcasting in 1896 with the invention of first
    wireless telegraph link. (Wireless telegraphy or radiotelegraphy
    is transmission of telegraph signals by radio waves.) It took ten
    years since then for the first demonstration of radio
    broadcasting to establish but it was hard to distinguish words
    from music.
    •Another successful demonstration took place from the Eiffel
    Tower in Paris in 1908.

    •A New York Station transmitted the first radio news bulletin


    in 1916 on the occasion of the election of US President.
    • By 1927, broadcasting services were started as a major
    medium of information.

    Radio Broadcasting in Indian

    •It began as a private venture in 1923 and 1924, when three


    radio clubs were established in Bombay, Calcutta and Madras
    (now Chennai). The Radio Club broadcast the first radio
    program in India in June 1923.
    •These stations had to close down in 1927 for lack of
    sufficient financial support. It was followed by the setting up a
    Broadcasting Service that began broadcasting in India in 23
    July 1927 on an experimental basis at Bombay and a month
    later at Calcutta under an agreement between the
    Government of India and a private company called the Indian
    Broadcasting Company Limited. Since then , broadcasting in
    India has remained under Govt Control.
    • •In 1936, a radio station was commissioned in Delhi. In the
    same year, the Indian Broadcasting Service was renamed All
    India Radio (AIR) and a new signature tune was added. The
    Delhi station became the nucleus of broadcasting at the
    national level.
    • •Lionel Fielder of the BBC took charge as the first controller
    of Broadcasting . The opening of Delhi station on 1 jan 1936
    was an important landmark in the history of broadcasting in
    India.
    • All India Radio has come a long way since June 1936. When
    India became Independent, the AIR network had only six stations at
    Delhi, Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, Lucknow and Tiruchirapalli with 18
    transmitters - six on the medium wave and the remaining on short
    wave.
    • The All India Radio came to known as Akashvanii from 1957. and with
    the passage of time AIR and Akashvani have become synonym for
    radio broadcasting in India.
    •Radio broadcasting assumed considerable importance with the
    outbreak of World War II. By 1939, the entire country was covered by a
    short-wave service and the program structure underwent a change to
    meet wartime contingencies.
    •During this period, news and political commentaries were introduced
    and special broadcasts were made for the people on the strategic
    northeastern and northwestern borders.
    • After Independence, the broadcast scenario has dramatically changed
    with 198 broadcasting centers, including 74 local radio stations,
    covering more than 97.3 per cent of the country's population.
    Presently, it broadcasts programs in a number of languages throughout
    the day
    • The basics of the communication requirements are popularly known
    as LIICCA i.e Language , Information, Interest, Correctness, Credibility
    and Adaptability. Among all these credibility constitutes
    the top most requirement for the message to be transmitted in near
    faithful manner.
    • •The Radio Broadcast in India has become a three-tier system:-
    • •National Broadcast
    • •Regional Broadcast
    • •Local Broadcast
