- The first radio station went on the air in 1909 in San Jose CA. One hundred years later that station is KCBS in San Francisco. Two San Jose State University professors did the research and tell the story, in a book, and in a PBS documentary. This is an excerpt from producer Mike Adams, "Broadcasting's Forgotten Father: The Charles Herrold Story."
I got a build your own crystal radio set in 1967. The instructions made it easy to construct in one afternoon.
The first radio transmition in the world was in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in August 1920. It was made from the terrace of the Coliseo Theatre and 4 men, called "the crazies of the terrace", broadcasted live the opera "Parsifal" by Wagner, which was being perfomed at that moment in the theatre.
Marconi would beg to disagree. Try 1895 in the Isle of Wight, UK, as the place where the first broadcast of radio ever took place. Argentina was the first Spanish language country to do a radio broadcast, in 1920, but not the first ever.
@@salty-as-heck9915 We need to take these things sorted... Marconi was first to experiment and use wireless telegraph, and he was used spark transmitter invented by others, not himself, and which any way did not last long as proven to be a dead-end branch of radio evolution. Fessenden was the one who invented AM modulation over a continuous wave (CW), first RF generator was built by Westinghouse according to his requirements and had first voice and music broadcast (not telegraphing morse) back in 1906! Fessenden is a true inventor of radio as we know it today!
Born in 1959, it astonishes me to think how far humanity has come in communications!
Awesome, wish there was more of this.
They had to build their own radio's , They Loved it :) QC
:)
brilliant I love this ive done some radio broadcast videos myself its great to hear things from the past.
Very interesting🙂❗️
Also very cool .
This I’ve not heard of.
📻👍🙂‼️
👍👍👍
Sonehow all of this is much more amazing than the stuff we use today.
2:44 lol his reaction was priceless XD
Amazing
Wonderful
1:24 Imagine being such a gamer that you have to get your mic water cooled 🤣
the origin of the term "hot mic"?
Interesting fact: the KDKA in Pittsburgh was the first radio station that inaugurated regular broadcast service
Not even close.
No, it wasn't, and you can't prove that it was. Before pronouncing something as fact, do your homework so you won't look so much like a fool.
KDKA was, I believe, the first radio station to broadcast using a commercial license from the federal government. But it was far from the first that had regular broadcast service.
Any time someone is talking about radio invention, and especially wireless telephony (ie not telegraphing morse code but transmitting voice), should mention a true inventor Reginald Aubrey Fessenden. It is not Marconi, it is Fessenden we should praise!
very enjoyable
Con profunda emoción, emoción que hace temblar mis palabras, yo quiero reclamar -no por inmodestia ni para aumentar el mérito nuestro- sino porque le corresponde a la Ciudad y al País, la absoluta seguridad que la primera transmisión nuestra fue la primera transmisión del mundo en radiodifusión 27 de agosto de 1920
Absolutamente de acuerdo! Ya se los escribo en inglés.
Guglielmo Malconi, un Italiano, invento el radio y transmitió el primer "programa" en 1895 en Inglaterra.
The first station with a license. Several others preceded it but had to shut down during WWI. KCBS was the first to transmit voices rather than Morse code.
It didn't have a license when it first signed on in 1909 because there was no need for one as it was the only station in existence, nor was there a governing authority to issue one. But when KQW did get a license in the early 20s, it wasn't the first.
Great movie! Do u mind if I use it in a school project?? :)
We might never know
To all of the people who've been buying KDKA's inaccurate self-promotion over the past 9 decades: The story told here is true and indisputable. The only claim KDKA has is that the U.S. government finally realized (after the commercial broadcasting industry was nearly 10 years old) that it ought to create an actual license for that activity and KDKA happened to be first to stand in the government's line to get one. The ability to pay for a little piece of paper doesn't constitute inventive action.
And even then, the department that issued them wasn't a radio governing authority. It simply did it because there wasn't yet a dedicated one to do so. The Commerce Department issued licenses as the de facto authority until the Federal Radio Commission was formed to do it in 1927.
@@ApartmentKing66 And the whole thing almost didn't happen becuase the Department of the Navy didn't want anyone else to have th edarned things.
Here we are a century later.
Yeah. They tried to make using or developing it, a state secret weapon during the first world war.
yeah
Did he said "What the hell was that!?"?
Me & my cuisine had a Cristal to pick up a radio signal, right after WWII, in Columbus Ohio where there was a stronger radio signal,
Are you sure about this---I thought KDKA was the first commercial station. KDKA was in Pittsburgh---Westinghouse owned it.
kqv was first in pittsburgh pa 1919
Watching this in January 2025😊
Interesting
in 1922 thay used this type of teck to make the worst wireless cellphone.
You might like to investigate radio station WHA from Madison, Wisconsin. Easily pre-dates KDKA.DaveN9HF
David Kerl Thank you, you just helped educate me on local history.
A lot mentioned in this video is not accurate.
@@timothy3660 Well, no matter who says what, somebody has to come along with "oh, this isn't correct" or "oh, that's not right." Doc Herrold put the first broadcast station on the air in San Jose, whether anyone likes it or not. No one else, Madison, WI, or Pittsburgh, was doing what Doc Herrold was. Not trying to be a jerk, but I've kinda had it up to here with the naysayers.
The 1st DJ was a white woman. Ya learn something new every day
Perhaps the first in the United states but Im not so sure the claim can be made the first station.
ID pass on the record, too much work. Winding up the record player Id be to tired to listen to the record.
