MP3 of the Day

On this day in 1920, Pittsburgh radio station KDKA broadcast the results of the presidential race between Warren G. Harding and James M. Cox. This was the first significant public radio news broadcast. The following year, Americans spent $10 million on radios. By 1922, some 500 radio stations were broadcasting programs, and the era of electronic entertainment had begun. Today we have History of the Radio by BOYS' STAR LIBRARY.
