Who first conceived the idea “‘makes no never mind." There {s a question which Is, how: ever, being disputed and many people, particularly those connected with the broadcasting services, are interested in it being settled. ‘The question of what station was the first to broadcast a ular programme Is being seriously con- tended. We have given from time to time the opening dates of the various rush EO stations claiming priority in this Qeld of endeavor and considered the question settled with the crown of priority @onceded to KDKA, which started reg- ular operation in the latter part of De- eember, 1920, Just when everybddy seems to be getting along nicely and trying to forget who first started the ball rolling, we get the following an- nouncement: “Radio broadcasting was introduced to the people of Eastern New York State by the Union College Radio Club on the night of Oct. 14, 1920, when Phonograpn music was sent through the air to people within a radius of 100 miles of Schnectady, N. Y., the home of the college. or the next two months this station, conducted entirely by college students, was the first sta- tion in the United States to regularly broadcast musical programmes. after the start of the first commercial broadcasting station the student radio operators of Union « certs compiete Sunday night 2 XQ has been sup- planted by lice WRL, under which the usua) programme is now bens Broadcast.
