The Birth of Irish Radio Broadcasting – 95 years on air
2RN was the first radio broadcasting station in the Irish Free State. It began broadcasting on 1 January 1926 and continued until 1933, when it was succeeded by Radio Athlone (later Radio Éireann). The station was run by the Irish Post Office, under the Department of Posts and Telegraphs, writes Gerry Breen.
New Year’s Day marked the ninety-fifth anniversary of the launch of 2RN, the first Irish radio station, on 1st January, 1926. The first voice heard from the new station was that of Douglas Hyde, a well-known Gaelic poet, who performed the official opening and who was to become the first President of Ireland in 1938.
