First news broadcast

“In 1920, the first radio news station was broadcasted, giving way to a whole new world in media sharing. A San Francisco newspaper reported in 1922, “there is radio music in the air, every night, everywhere. Anybody can hear it at home on a receiving set, which any boy can put up in an hour.” The radio created a nationwide unity; people could laugh at the same jokes, listen to the same music, and hear the same news in real time.” (Info from here)

Tiffi takes it for granted that she has a TV with color, a smartphone and YouTube to listen to her favourite songs. She continues to read more about this time. 

“Even before the pioneer station in Pittsburgh commenced operations, regular broadcasts began from The Hague, running from November 1919 until 1924. In Canada the first regular broadcasts from Montreal began in 1920, while in Australia a small station in Melbourne opened in 1921, though the official start occurred in Sydney in 1923. In New Zealand several low-powered stations were operating in 1921, though the Radio Broadcasting Company was not founded until 1927. In Denmark experimental amateur stations went on the air in 1921, and the official State Broadcasting System was instituted in 1925. France began regular transmissions from the Eiffel Tower in 1922, and the first Soviet station commenced broadcasts from Moscow in the same year. By the end of 1923 there also were radio stations established in Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Germany, and Spain. The list of countries lengthened rapidly, with Finland and Italy beginning broadcasts in 1924 and Norway, Poland, Mexico, and Japan in 1925. In India organized broadcasting began in 1926; the Indian Broadcasting Company had stations in Bombay (Mumbai) and Calcutta (Kolkata) in 1927.” (Info from here)
