When was the first radio brodcast?
A probable first public broadcast of sound and music- as opposed to code and cipher occured in the Christmas season of l906 Broadcast was superintended by one Reginald Fessenden, a Canadian engineer. The equipment used did not utilize tubes which were then just coming out- achieved high-fidelity broadcast of- what else Christmas Carols ( O Holy Night being the lead-off song) and was sponsore by the the National Electric Signal Company- a remote antecedent to NBC. The Broadcast was from a land transmission tower- about 400 feet up- a record for a purpose-built radio antenna for the day- before they started using already- built skyscrapers like Eiffel and Empire State- and still do.
