100 Years of KDKA

EDITOR’S NOTE: This issue of the Proceedings celebrates KDKA’s November 2, 1920 historic broadcast. That broadcast is often used to mark the beginning of the commercial broadcast era.

This section includes two items:

• Past RCA Event Sparks New Company and Changes the Way Records Are Preserved and Restored • KDKA's 1920 Broadcast Centennial

The images on this page include a 1921 KDKA station reception verification stamp and photos from RCA's 2017 KDKA transmitter tour.

We hope you enjoy this special issue and our commemoration of this historic milestone in communications!
