STATES & CITIES: KDKA Boulevard
First national radio broadcast ever heard by the U. S. public was on the evening of Nov. 2, 1920. The station: KDKA at East Pittsburgh, Pa., owned and operated by Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co. The program: that day's election returns, which put Warren Gamaliel Harding into the White House.
