This original newspaper contains prominent front page "stacked" headings read: "VOICE OF SINGER IN PITTSBURG IS PLAINLY HEARD / Demonstration of Wireless telephone..." with news of one of the earliest widespread commercial radio broadcast by Pittsburgh radio station KDKA.This newspaper marks the beginning of widespread commercial radio broadcasting from the first commercial radio station, KDKA in Pittsburg, PA An entertainment broadcasting venture based in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, became the first commercial radio station, KDKA, in 1920. The station WWJ, in Detroit, Michigan, also one of the firsts, began commercial broadcasting in the same year. Among the early proponents of entertainment broadcasting was Sarnoff, who used radio to create corporate empires at RCA and NBC.The radio broadcasting of music and talk intended to reach a dispersed audience started experimentally around 1905–1906, and commercially around 1920 to 1923.The period between the late 1920s and the early 1950s is considered the Golden Age of Radio, in which comedies, dramas, variety shows, game shows, and popular music shows drew millions of listeners across America. But in the 1950s, with the introduction of television, the Golden Age faded. Still, radio remained a pop-culture force. Developments like stereophonic broadcasting, which began in the 1960s, helped radio maintain its popularity. Very good condition.
