'''The British Broadcasting Company, Ltd.''' was founded in London on Wednesday 18 October 1922 and became a commercial radio broadcaster licensed by the British General Post Office. On Saturday 1 January 1927, the company was granted a Royal Charter and was renamed the '''British Broadcasting Corporation''' (commonly abbreviated to '''BBC'''). The BBC commenced experimental television broadcasts on 22 August 1932, using a 30-line system developed by John Logie Baird, the inventor of the television. It officially launched the world's first regular high-definition television service at 3pm on 2 November 1936, broadcasting from Alexandra Palace in London. The service initially used two systems - the Baird 240-line system, and the 405-line system developed by Marconi-EMI (named after Guglielmo Marconi, inventor of the radio). From February 1937, only the 405-line system was used. The service was suspended upon the outbreak of World War II on 1 September 1939, and resumed on 7 June 1946. Transmissions switched to a new site at Crystal Palace on March 28, 1956, and the service was renamed '''BBC One''' on 20 April 1964 when [[ | '''The British Broadcasting Company, Ltd.''' was founded in London on Wednesday 18 October 1922 and became a commercial radio broadcaster licensed by the British General Post Office.
