Telefon Hírmondó or
Telefonhírmondó (also translated into English as "Telephone Herald") was a
telephone newspaper in
Budapest. It was the longest-running telephone newspaper, and has been described by
Peter Lunenfeld as "the most sustained point-to-point
telephonic distribution system". It has also been described as an early
radio, and indeed it was radio that led to its demise. From 1893, 20 years before the invention of the radio, people could listen to news and music in Budapest daily. They could enjoy direct broadcastings from the Opera house.
