Question

What was the first radio program on the radio?

Answer 1

I can't tell you the name of the first radio program, but I do remember listening to the radio as a small child.  This would have been about 1949-50.  My favourite child's program was "Story Time."  The show had a theme song and it was called "The Teddy Bear's Picnic".  

Wow that was a long time ago.  

Blessings.

Answer 2

The first radio program on the radio, I believe occured on the

evening of 24 December, 1906 (Christmas Eve), Regnald Aubrey Fessenden used the alternator-transmitter to send out a short program from Brant Rock, which included his playing the song O Holy Night on the violin and reading a passage, Luke Chapter 2, from the Bible. On 31 December, New Year's Eve.  A second short program was broadcast.

The main audience for both these transmissions was an unknown number of shipboard radio operators along the Atlantic Coast. Although now seen as a landmark, these two broadcasts were barely noticed at the time and soon forgotten.

Answer 3

"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"
