I know about this because I was working at the BFBS HQ in Stonebridge Park when it went ‘live’. I’m 99% sure I even edited that programme.
I suspect we had champagne on the first live day. I think the BBC news later on that evening made a similar reference to new viewers in Germany? Very happy days.
