Speaking as an amateur radio operator, and a great lover of all things broadcast, Thanks for bringing this to light. In all my many years around communications, I never knew this. However, I do now.
Thank you for sharing this awesome video!...It’s a fine historical line between celebrated and forgotten!!...Found the Gordon Greb and Mike Adams book “Charles Herrold, Inventor of Radio Broadcasting” for some further research!!!
Lots of misinformation here. KQV was on the air 6 months before KDKA. KDKA was the first commercial radio station. KQV thought it was uncouth to play commercials. Broadcast radio AM voice did not come along until about 1920 when the first commercial speaker and microphone came along. Before that broadcasters used a megaphone to impose voice over the carrier.
Superb show. I'm convinced Herrold was the first!
Outstanding! Thank you AWM.
Thank You for retransmiting this excellent documentary.
A fine, fine addition to the Play List of the Antique Wireless Museum. Time well spent seeing this video again....

I am happy that this video finally made it to youtube. I had a VHS tape of the original movie and it's quite a story

I am curious to know how many broadcasters were electrocuted inside their stations. The working conditions were extremely dangerous.
