MP3 of the Day

On this day in 1920, the Pittsburgh radio station KDKA broadcast the results of the presidential election between Warren G. Harding and James M. Cox. This was the first significant public radio news broadcast in US history. The following year, Americans spent $10 million on radios. By 1922, over 500 radio stations were broadcasting programs, and the era of electronic entertainment had begun. Today we have the song Radio Ready by THE POOH STICKS.
