Peshawar Radio Station

Peshawar Radio Station (Urdu پشاور ریڈیو اسٹیشن ) is the oldest in Pakistan, opening in 1935. When Abdul Qayyum Khan, the renowned political leader of North-West Frontier Province Pakistan, went to London during the Round Table Conference of 1930-1932 he met Marconi, who had invented the machine, and requested him to donate one for the N.W.F.P. Soon after the gift from Marconi arrived. The transmitter, personally engineered by Marconi, was installed in Peshawar and inaugurated by Sir Ralph Edwin Hotchkin Griffith, the Governor of North-West Frontier Province in 1935.[1][2][3][4][5]
