Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Radio Rentals was formed in 1932 to rent out radio sets. It later moved into televisions and ultimately video players. In 1968 it was acquired by Thorn Electrical Industries and merged with its DER chain (founded 1938), and in 2000 it merged with Granada Limited to form boxclever. The company still trades as Radio Rentals in Australia. Radio Rentals operated mainly in the UK, having started life in Brighton, Sussex, England. Growth of a public TV service after the war encouraged more people to want TV sets but they were expensive, leaving an opportunity for companies like RR to offer them at a monthly rental price which was much more affordable. With the coming of colour services, initially on BBC2 only, a further opportunity for renting was created. On November 15th 1969, colour broadcasts on both BBC channels and the ITV network became available from the main transmitter sites around the UK. This led to a boom in rental of the sets.
