DESCRIPTION:

International Radio Day marks the anniversary of 8MK (WWJ) radio Detroit's first broadcast on August 20, 1920. It was what we'd call a 'beta test,' not really for public consumption. But, it was the first.

The station would officially go live with the first radio newscast on August 31, 1920. At the time, creating a for-profit business in the newly emerging radio industry was a radical idea. News Radio was officially born!

A few months later November 25, 1920, the first live sportscast occurred on WTAW, a college station in central Texas. August 28, 1922, saw the first paid radio commercial on New York's WEAF for apartments in Jackson Heights.

However, the first public radio broadcast occurred in New York City on January 13, 1910.

Though a historical anniversary, in 2013, Sabrina Roach of Brown Paper Ticket's Doer's Program made an effort to have this day marked internationally. Today, radio stations globally celebrate International Radio Day.

The radio itself as an invention occurred through the efforts of multiple people. With its complex transmission and reception methods, different technologies were involved in its development, as were various inventors.
