Thirty-five years ago, users heard the infamous dial-up sound for the first time. The '80s were a decade defined by major technological innovations, big hair, cult-classic movies and the start of ...
Radio is the technology of communicating using radio waves. [1] [2] [3] Radio waves are electromagnetic waves of frequency between 3 hertz (Hz) and 300 gigahertz (GHz). They are generated by an electronic device called a transmitter connected to an antenna which radiates oscillating electrical energy, often characterized as a wave.
In 1983, KDAY-AM became the first radio station to play wall-to-wall rap music, thanks to an ambitious new music director and some soon-to-be famous DJs.
