Coverage of the Harding-Cox Election was the first radio news broadcast
of KDKA in Pittsburgh.

Radio station KDKA (1020 kHz) is licensed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Created
by the Westinghouse Electric Corporation on November 2, 1920, it is the world’s
first commercial radio station, a distinction that has also been challenged by other stations. It is currently owned and operated by CBS Radio.

The world’s first broadcast of “market” reports are on the air on May 19,
1921.

KDKA hosted political comedian Will Rogers in his very first radio
appearance in 1922
