Works on steaming. I would never be able to get off the air here
although SF stations do come in at night. Its between KHJ on 930 and
KFWB on 980, both very close and very strong here.
What Jeff calls l920s radio is really mostly mid 1930s to late
1940s. Lots of stuff on archive.org downloadable unlike You Tube. I
grew up on radio before television. Hard to explain to people too young
to have experienced it.
Networking started about as soon as broadcast stations were licensed
as commercial ventures rather than experimental about December of 1920.
Radio exploded in 1922. AT&T sold its network and station to RCA in 1926
and the two were combined to form the NBC. Coast to coast broadcasting
came into being about late 1929 when AT&T brought permanent audio
quality lines into San Francisco from Denver. There had been occasional
experimental coast to coast programs before that but the lines had to be
"built" each time.
A special interest of mine but rather OT here.
