The year 1938 saw a number of significant events inradio broadcasting.

Events

3 January – TheBBC Empire Service, begun in 1932, transmits its first programme in a foreign language:Arabic.
13 March –CBS carries the first point-to-point news roundup, includingEdward R. Murrow's first live report, as part of its coverage of theAnschluss inAustria. Over the next few months, the daily programme will evolve into theCBS World News Roundup, a permanent fixture on the CBS network.
15 March – TheBBC begins itsPortuguese andSpanish service forLatin America.
14 April –Fireside chat by thePresident of the United States:On Economic Conditions.
6 May – The Caferadio copyright case is decided by the High Court of the Netherlands in favour of the composerFranz Lehár, who complains about a cafe owner allowing his customers to listen to a radio broadcast ofDer Zarewitsch.^[1]
24 June – Fireside chat:On Party Primaries.
11 July – The first live drama adaptation inOrson Welles'The Mercury Theatre on the Air series onCBS Radio in the United States is broadcast:Bram Stoker'sDracula.
12 September – CommentatorH. V. Kaltenborn begins his famous marathon of news bulletins on the CBS network in the United States covering the intensifying Czech Crisis over theSudetenland. The first bulletin is a summation ofHitler's closing address to the Tenth (and, as it would prove, last) Party Congress of the Nazi party inNuremberg. Kaltenborn will eat and sleep in the studio, making periodic updates, until the signing of theMunich Agreement on 29 September.
30 October –Orson Welles's radio adaptation ofThe War of the Worlds (with script byHoward Koch) is broadcast on CBS from New York as an episode ofThe Mercury Theatre on the Air. As this is asustaining program and has no commercial interruptions, Welles centers the first two-thirds of the broadcast in the serious style of a series of news bulletins interrupting a live musical broadcast. This approach results in panic in various parts of theUnited States, although later research suggests its level has been exaggerated.^[2]
