Broadcast Media
technology is relatively new compared to print media. Initially, radio was
invented as a means of military and marine communication, especially over the
Atlantic Ocean. Its commercial use began through the efforts of Harold Power,
who set up the American Radio and Research Company. From the Tufts University
campus in Massachusetts, USA, Power initiated the first commercial broadcast on
March 8, 1916. The broadcast lasted three (3) hours and consisted of dance
music, a professor’s lecture, a weather report, and bedtime stories.
