History

BBC was founded on 18 October 1922 as the British Broadcasting Company by the British General Post Office and a group of six telecommunications companies.

Experimental television broadcasts were started in 1932 using an electromechanical 30-line system developed by John Logie Baird.

Television broadcasting was suspended during the Second World War.

The European Broadcasting Union was formed on 12 February 1950, in Torquay with the BBC among the 23 founding broadcasting organisations.

In 2002, several television and radio channels were reorganised.
