Historical Account

Most of us brush aside the magic that good old radio can bring to our lives. Back in the days, even owning a radio was a matter of pride.

Until the advent of television, radio was the prime source of entertainment. Many All India Radio listeners still recall those days when the radio broadcasted a coherent mix of news, soothing music, drama, cricket commentaries and gripping topical talks. All India Radio broadcast started in 1923 via 2 private stations - Radio Club of Bombay and later Calcutta Radio Club. In 1924, broadcasting service was initiated by the Madras Presidency Radio Club.

After the Indian Broadcast Company in Mumbai and Kolkata went bankrupt, it was shut down in 1930. Later, Indian State Broadcasting Service (ISBS) under Department of Industries and Labour was launched.

It was on July 23, 1927, that organised broadcasting kick started. Lionel Fielden was the first controller of Broadcasting in India. He was a senior BBC producer who spent five years in India as the controller of broadcasting and one of the main people who established All India Radio (AIR). It came under the control of the Government of India in 1936.
