Which was the first radio service in Asia?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>model
The first radio service in Asia was established in India. It began as a private venture known as the "Indian Broadcasting Company (IBC)" and was initiated in Bombay (now Mumbai) on July 23, 1927. This was followed by a station in Calcutta (now Kolkata), which started broadcasting later that year. However, the IBC was not financially successful and was dissolved in 1930.

Subsequently, the government of British India took over the broadcasting facilities and started the "Indian State Broadcasting Service" on April 1, 1930, which was later renamed "All India Radio (AIR)" in 1936. AIR played a significant role in developing radio broadcasting in India and across Asia.<end_of_turn><eos>
