Question for January 18

X was the world's first national electronic media service organization and was founded on 18 October 1922. The original Company was founded in 1922 by a group of six telecommunications companies to start experimental radio services. The first transmission was on 14 November of that year, from station 2LO. X was created by the General Post Office (GPO). The company was wound-up and in 1927 a new non-commercial entity called Y (it’s current name) became successor in interest. To represent its purpose and values, the Y adopted the coat of arms, incorporating the motto "Nation shall speak peace unto Nation". Y is now the largest electronic media service organization in the world. Identify X or Y.

BBC it is. Congrats to one and all! The British are not really known for creativity, it used to be British Broadcasting Company before they changed it to British Broadcasting Corporation :).
