The title came from the BBC News front-page link to the article that I copy-pasted since the article's own title is so vague!

Being as the article is on the BBC I suppose they expect the context to be understood :)

The article's own title isn't that vague and fits well enough with the content, i.e. what is traditionally thought of as the first BBC broadcast may well have been preceded by broadcasts from the north of England.

Yes, I agree having revisited it! I'm almost sure it was much more wordy when it was first published which was why I used the shorter headline.

I've changed the submission title to the article title "Mystery of BBC radio's first broadcasts revealed 100 years on".
