EspañolBUSH RADIO
: ''This article is about the UK radio manufacturer. For the South African community radio station, see Bush Radio (South Africa).''
'Bush Radio' was a British radio manufacturing company, and one of the most famous names on early British radios and televisions.
The company was founded in 1932, from the remains of the 'Amplion' company that made horn loudspeakers, as a subsidiary of the Gaumont British Picture Corporation. The brand name comes from their Shepherd's Bush studios[1].
Bush became part of the Rank empire in the 1940s.
The Bush TR82 transistor radio, designed by Ogle Design, and launched in 1959, is regarded as an icon of early radio design.
The first radio to use the Ogle cabinet design was the MB60, a battery/mains valve set from 1957-59.
The original Bush Radio company merged with Murphy Radio on 4 June, 1962[2], and the Bush name disappeared from the British market during the 1980s. However, since the purchase of the brand by Alba plc in 1986, it has once again become common,[3] being used primarily on electronic goods produced in China.
