On 14th November 1922 the BBC used the 2Lo transmitter
to make its first ever broadcast. To celebrate the 90th anniversary
the BBC commissioned Damian Albarn to create a piece to be broadcast on all 55
BBC radio stations at 17.33 GMT. The first scheduled simultaneous broadcast
since 1922.
The "snapshot of the airwaves" features the
chimes of Big Ben, bird song plus the talking clock pips and was broadcast live
from the London Science Museum. What a great way to celebrate such a momentous
event.
