Radio in Estonia

Radio in Estonia started on 21 October 1918, when special station for radio communications (Estonian: Tallinna Traadita Telegraafijaam) was established by Estonian Defence Ministry.[citation needed]

In February 1920 the radio apparatus was demonstrated on the first time.[1]

The first radio test programme took place in Haapsalu. To centralize the radio activities, organization "Raadio-Ringhääling" was established on 1 November 1924. On 18 December 1926 the Kopli radio station set up in Tallinn; this denotes the starting of regular radio broadcasting.

In 1940, 90,000 radio apparatus were owned by Estonians.[2]
