It was not extracts that were broadcast the same evening in fact, but a report on the speech on BBC News was the way the public first got to know it (all this discovered by googling: I'm no expert, you just have to go on looking!)

As far as I can see, it was made in the House of Commons on June 4th 1940 & extracts were broadcast the same evening by the BBC.Where it was first recorded I am still trying to find out (sources: wikipedia & BBC archives).
I've got it now: not until 1949, at his home in Chartwell!
