The 1920s saw the end of the amateur radio enthusiasts, and
the beginning of a professional broadcast organisation. That was how BBC
started - as small private, radio amateur owned establishment. In October 1922,
a consortium of radio manufacturers formed the British Broadcasting Company
(BBC) and the man who change the history of broadcasting in Britain was John
Reith (1889 - 1971).
