===1922–1939: Interwar period===
Between the early 1920s and the outbreak of [[World War II]], the [[BBC]] developed two nationwide radio stations – the [[BBC National Programme|National Programme]] and the [[BBC Regional Programme|Regional Programme]] (which began broadcasting on 9 March 1930) – as well as a basic service from London that include programming originated in six regions. Although the programme items attracting the greatest number of listeners tended to appear on the National, they were each designed to appeal "across the board" to a single but variegated audience by offering at most times of the day a choice of programme type rather than simply catering to two distinct audiences.
