Hall radio

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hall radio referred to in the 1920s in Germany, a concept that radio broadcasts should be played in theaters before paying audience.

The German hour , society for wireless teaching and entertainment mbH , had planned to provide Berlin restaurants with appropriate programs. The performances should be offered to the public for a fee. The offer did not materialize because the Reichspost, which was supposed to operate the broadcasters and which was also to hold half of the shares in the business, rejected the plans, as the associated restrictions for the Reichspost and the listeners were considered to be too extensive. The listener should not be directed to specific recipients, nor should the reception of the programs only be possible for a specific group of people. One wanted to address the general public. Therefore, the concept of the radio in the hall did not correspond to the plans of Hans Bredow . In addition, the Reichspost did not want to share its monopoly on operating radio stations with a private broadcaster.
