2LV and 2LW may have precedence as the first British radio stations to make regular entertainment broadcasts.

The cover advert for Wireless World magazine 25 June 1921 states that 2LV and 2LW transmitted concerts on Monday nights at 8pm BST on 1000m. The cover shows an image of the transmitter used and WRH Tingey offers the transmitters for sale. "Listen each Monday to our concerts." Subsequent issues of Wireless World repeat this claim. These adverts suggest that 2LV and 2LW have precedence as the first British radio stations to make regular entertainment broadcasts. Wireless World magazine is available as a scan from the link on reference 1 with original copies in the Cambridge University Library.

2MT is referenced in the 4 March 1922 edition of Wireless World, with detail added in the 18 March 1922 issue. Reference 2.

Why was it called 2MT? Headhitter (talk) 17:22, 17 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Answer: 2 was a valid ITU prefix for British callsigns - and the letters in this case - 2 Marconi Transmission Mjnmjn (talk) 21:53, 13 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
