Question

In what decade did music/radio come out?

Answer 1

Defining exactly when broadcasting first began is difficult. Very early radio transmissions only carried the dots and dashes of wireless telegraphy. One of the first signals of significant power that carried voice and music was accomplished in 1906 by Reginald Fessenden when he made a Christmas Eve broadcast to ships at sea from Massachusetts. He played "O Holy Night" on his violin and read passages from the Bible.

If you are talking about what we in the biz refer to as music-radio or modern Top-40, that would be the late fifties and especially the sixties.

Answer 3

Well early radio was lines and dots done in morse code but later on it was transfered to voices. Yet with the programming being only in AM it was hard to get stations becuase it was so full of static but music was still played in the 30's. Le De Forest made the Audation Tube which made it much clearer to hear over the old crystal sets. Yet in the forties came Payola which was where producers and bands would pay Radio DJ's to play their music and make them hits. When Payola was banned and the Top 40 was made in the 50's and 60's AM radio took off once again. Yet while this happened the chair man of the Federal Communications Commistion (FCC) David Sarnoff took the invention of FM radio and made Television. This was known as Picture Radio with the picture being AM and sound FM. This lead to the decline in radio music.
