History of the Radio: 1920 to 1932
The radio was invented in 1894 by an Italian named Guglielmo Marconi. He started The Wireless Company of America in November 1899. In 1919, his company and its patents were purchased by General Electric. Several other companies held an interest in the company as well. The new company was called Radio Corporation of America or RCA. They immediately built radio towers on Long Island and radio stations began to be formed following 1920.
The presidential election of 1920 became the first election where the election results were broadcast via radio. The election was between Harding-Coolidge and Cox-Roosevelt with Harding-Coolidge coming out on top.
During the next decade, regulations surrounding radio were created with the Hoover Radio Conferences from 1923 to 1925 and the Radio Act of 1927.
In 1932, FDR ran against the incumbent president, Herbert Hoover. FDR endorsed broader, more liberal economic policies and so he won. The radio also contributed as he was more effective at using it to communicate directly to the American public.
Also in 1932, The Radio Corporation of America (RCA) was broken apart from its parent companies to operate as an independent company.
