Radio

The very beginning of radio broadcast started in 1895 from a man by the name of Guglielmo Marconi. He led the path to radio by improving the traditional wired telegraph. Marconi's invention led to a number of people attempting to create their own form of wireless communication The official first regular programmed broadcast radio company was KDKA of Pittsburg. KDKA began it's journey by covering the 1920 presidential election between Warren G. Harding and James M. Cox. KDKA was established with a commercial purpose. Radio commercials were not as popular at first because the station owners considered radio as a selling tool itself. Most of early radio's audience consisted of men and boys because they were experimenting with the technology. Listeners were fascinated with the ability to listen to stations from long distances. Fascination with radio programs developed later on.
