Local Radio Teaser

[Kempo]

How did a man inadvertently cause all radio transmissions in the world to cease ?.
The answers to these teasers are all factual. Any help please.

[doomey!]

he switched off his radio by accident? thus causing him not to be able to hear a\ny radio station.

Thanks Doomey! ,
I'ii give it a whirl on the Sunday phone in.

Does this answer the question?

[TCL-MUMPING]

I'm not sure that is the correct answer, there are thousands of radio transmissions but not all can be received. If the radio were switched off, the broadcasts would not be received but the stations are transmitting still.

[factor-fiction]

was it Marconi or someone when he was he only person who could transmit?

[mysticman]

Factor is right

[Kempo]

Thanks for the answers, I won't know until this coming Sunday due to the Christmas programme re-scheduling. But I will confirm the answer.
I wish you all a very Happy and, hopefully, a Prosperous New Year.
