Note |
Charles Herrold, a pioneer in radio, was the first person to transmit radio programs of music and news to a listening audience. Beginning in 1909, three years before Congress' Radio Act of 1912, Herrold broadcast from his College of Engineering and Wireless location in the Garden City Bank Building at First and San Fernando streets. His wife, Sybil, was the first woman disc jockey in the country. Together, they initiated commercial radio advertising. A tireless experimenter, Charles Herrold developed more than 50 radio-related inventions. http://www.sjdowntown.co/Downtown_History_Walk.html |
