Radio in the 1920s
In the 1920s radios were still new, meaning that they weren't very popular especially in the early 20s. This was due to the amount of experimentation and research done on radios for the purpose of making them widely accessible across the country. The first radio broadcast done by KDKA station in 1920 featured the voice Reginald Fessenden, a scientist and engineer who had been working on radios for quite a while. Unfortunately, music radio wasn't very popular since at the time there wasn't much of an audience or market to justify broadcasting music to. Until the mid-to-late 1930s, radio would be used to hear people and voices.
