Question

In which year, the radio broadcasting had started in India?
A) 1925
B) 1926
C) 1927
D) 1928

Answer 1

Hint:Radio broadcasting is the propagation of audio content to a wide audience via any electronic mass communications medium; but it typically involves using the electromagnetic spectrum (radio waves), in a one-to-many model.

In India, broadcasting was first introduced under the British rule and was no more than a propaganda tool. Indian newspapers were heavily censored, which gave way to the only plausible alternative-Radio Broadcasting.

Complete step by step answer:
The Indian Broadcasting Company (IBC) came into being on July 23, 1927 and was authorized to operate two radio stations: the Bombay station which began on 23 July 1927, and the Calcutta station which followed on 26 August 1927. Thus, the first radio broadcast in India happened in 1927 at the Bombay Station.

Option (C) is correct.

Note:Radio stations broadcast with several different types of modulation like, AM radio stations transmit in amplitude modulation, FM radio stations transmit in frequency modulation, while newer digital radio stations transmit in several digital audio standards: DAB (digital audio broadcasting), HD radio etc.
IBC went into liquidation on 1 March 1930. The government then took over the broadcasting facilities and began the Indian State Broadcasting Service (ISBS) on 1 April 1930 on an experimental basis for two years, it then went on to become All India Radio on 8 June 1936; commonly known as Akashvani today.
