Radio Broadcasting

From the Paper:

"The purpose of this research is to trace the history of radio broadcasting in the United States until the advent of television. We will see how the work of amateurs such as Frank Conrad led to the broadcast of the presidential election returns on November 2, 1920. A subsequent rush to build and buy receivers helped boost Westinghouse sales of radio sets. Radio Corporation of America won itself an audience of 300,000 broadcasting the Dempsey-Carpentier fight in 1921. AT&T presented the first commercial a year later. Yet a year after that AT&T began the establishment of network broadcasting. Government antitrust action in 1931 resulted in RCA, GE, and Westinghouse making their patents generally available. Meanwhile, the Radio Act of 1927 had established the Federal Radio Commission s "traffic policemen" of the air. "
