Re: Radio TV information
Constance,
WGY (Schenectady, NY) is considered one of the earliest radio stations, I
believe they were broadcasting certain events in 1921. The Schenectady
Museum's Archive of Electrical History, 518-382-7890, has some wonderful
resources on early radio history including a list of the first 200 radio
stations that were granted a license. Hope this helps.

Can anyone help me find out what historical "rank" radio station, and for
that matter TV station, WKBN - Youngstown, Ohio had. What I want to know is
was this radio station third station to go on the air in Ohio, was it 93 to
go on the air nationally?
AM radio started Sept. 26, 1926
FM radio started Aug. 26, 1947
TV went on the air on Jan. 6, 1953
Any help or direction where to find out the answers would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you all so much.
