Estonian radio's first home at Pikk 43
Estonian radio grew step by step. In February 1920 a radio set was demonstrated in Estonia for the first time. On 11 May 1924 the first official test broadcast went out from Haapsalu, and on 1 November that year the company Raadio Ringhääling was founded. After test broadcasts from Tallinn in 1925 and 1926, the Kopli radio station started work on 18 December 1926, the beginning of regular broadcasting. The first studio was in the house at Pikk 43 in the Old Town. A radio fee was introduced on 1 January 1927, and on 6 February the first broadcast from a theatre followed. On 1 November 1927 the radio moved from Pikk 43 to the third floor of the Estonia theatre.

Eesti raadio sündis samm-sammult. 1920. aasta veebruaris demonstreeriti Eestis esimest korda raadioaparaati. 11. mail 1924 tehti Haapsalust esimene ametlik katsesaade ja sama aasta 1. novembril asutati osaühisus Raadio Ringhääling. Pärast katsesaateid Tallinnast aastatel 1925 ja 1926 alustas 18. detsembril 1926 tööd Kopli raadiojaam ja sellest sai alguse regulaarne ringhääling. Esimene stuudio asus vanalinnas Pikk tänav 43 majas. 1. jaanuaril 1927 seati sisse raadiomaks ja 6. veebruaril tehti esimene ülekanne teatrist. 1. novembril 1927 kolis raadio Pikk 43 majast Estonia teatri kolmandale korrusele.
