[[Sri Lanka]] has the oldest radio station in Asia and the second oldest in the world, known as [[Radio Ceylon]]. It is now known as the [[Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation]]. Sri Lanka created [[broadcasting]] history in Asia when broadcasting was started in Ceylon by the Telegraph Department in 1923 on an experimental footing, just three years after the inauguration of broadcasting in Europe.
