Many inventions improved the quality of radio, and amateurs experimented with uses of radio, thus planting the first seeds of broadcasting. Telefunken The company Telefunken was founded on May 27, 1903, as "Telefunken society for wireless telefon" of Siemens & Halske (S & H) and the Allgemeine Elektrizitäts-Gesellschaft ( General Electricity ...
Before the discovery of electromagnetic waves and the development of radio communication, there were many wireless telegraph systems proposed and tested. [4] In April 1872 William Henry Ward received U.S. patent 126,356 for a wireless telegraphy system where he theorized that convection currents in the atmosphere could carry signals like a telegraph wire.

FM uses frequency modulation of the radio wave to minimize static and interference from electrical equipment and the atmosphere, in the audio program. 1937: W1XOJ, the first experimental FM radio station after Armstrong's W2XMN, was granted a construction permit by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
The next year the company used the same concept to begin establishing the first radio network. [107] The WEAF and WJZ chains. At the same time in early 1922 that it announced the beginning of advertisement-supported broadcasting, AT&T also introduced its plans for the development of the first radio network. [104]
The first shortwave station in Europe. 25 June 1926 (test transmissions began), and the first shortwave station in the world with its own dedicated programming rather than being a simulcast of an AM/MW or LW station such as KDKA. Regular broadcast from 30 May 1927 to May 1940 when the station went dark due to the German occupation of Holland ...
Until the early 1930s, it was generally accepted that Lee de Forest, who conducted a series of test broadcasts beginning in 1907, and who was widely quoted promoting the potential of organized radio broadcasting, was the first person to transmit music and entertainment by radio. De Forest's first entertainment broadcast occurred in February ...
The word radio is derived from the Latin word radius, meaning "spoke of a wheel, beam of light, ray".It was first applied to communications in 1881 when, at the suggestion of French scientist Ernest Mercadier [], Alexander Graham Bell adopted radiophone (meaning "radiated sound") as an alternate name for his photophone optical transmission system.
