  31. „We greet the inhabitants of Budapest. We greet them in an unusual way from which telephone broadcasting all over the world will start its victorious journey.” • "A new method of organizing and fitting a telephone newspaper „ • Telefon Hírmondó had no wires of its own, the company built up a network independent of the telephones lines used for conversation • It divided the entire city of Budapest into twenty-seven districts • (69 km) of wire, (1,800 km) in 1907 • It collected the news using the methods commonly employed by the print newspapers. The reporter would write the matter and submit it to the chief, who would sign it to fix responsibility • The complete programme of the newspaper would be attached to the wall above each subscribers's receiver, telling the subscriber what to expect at an hour • The "newspaper issue" would begin with a news bulletin and with summaries of newspapers. The afternoon schedule comprised "short entertaining stories", "sporting intelligence„ and the evening schedule consisted of theatrical offerings, visits to the opera, poetry readings, concerts, lectures and linguistic lessons (in English, Italian and French)

Music (which was for the first time selected by the potential audience) provides an example for the comtemporary commercial radio stations as well In 1991 the first prohibited, so-called- pirate radio, Tilos started to spread the word mainly in the underground genre because it didn’t get legal frequency • Since 2002 it is possible to hear them only on the Internet and ‘cable-air’
