On 18 October 1922, the British Broadcasting Company was founded, heralding the dawn of a new era in mass communication.

Initially established as a commercial venture to oversee radio broadcasting in the United Kingdom, the company sought to inform, educate, and entertain a wide audience.

Over time, it evolved into a public service broadcaster, renamed the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in 1927 under a Royal Charter.

This transformation cemented its place as a pioneering institution in global media, responsible for shaping the landscape of news, culture, and entertainment through its commitment to impartiality and quality programming.
