"For the first time in history, news was broadcast in England last night by the British Broadcasting Company". So said the Daily News after the first two bulletins had gone out, the previous evening, from Marconi House, in the Strand. The total staff of the broadcasting company at that stage ... See more was just four people. It had been set up only a few weeks earlier by the manufacturers of wireless sets, mindful that the public needed something to listen to. The task of reading those first bulletins on 14 November, at six o'clock and nine o'clock, fell to the director of programmes, Arthur Burrows. He read each bulletin twice - once quickly and once slowly - and asked listeners to say what they preferred. It was apparently a daunting experience. A couple of years later, he wrote: "I am prepared to assert that there is no more exacting test of physical fitness and nervous condition than the reading of a news bulletin night after night to the British Isles." Just imagine, he said, having to read an item about, say, a political crisis in Czechoslovakia - littered with "place names strange to the eye, and looking as though they had fallen accidentally from a child's alphabet box". The first bulletins included details of the opening of the Old Bailey sessions, a speech by the Conservative leader Bonar Law, the aftermath of a "rowdy meeting" involving Winston Churchill, a train robbery, the sale of a Shakespearean first folio, fog in London - and "the latest billiards scores". The second day of news broadcasts brought the first results of the 1922 general election. The Times reported the following morning that, with no more than thirty thousand people holding wireless licences, perhaps the most interesting feature of election night "was the phenomenon of "listening-in parties".
