I don't know what facts you'd like, but there are many to choose from; here are a few. Some people say Guglielmo Marconi invented radio, while others say it was Nikolai Tesla. Commercial radio began in 1920, in cities like Detroit, Pittsburgh, Montréal, and Medford Hillside (MA); before that, it was mainly amateurs (hams) who engaged in radio communication, first by Morse Code and then later by voice. Early radio was only on the AM band; Edwin Howard Armstrong developed FM and it debuted in the mid-1930s. In 1920-1922, radio used to be called the "wireless telephone" or the "radiophone." The first national radio network was NBC (National Broadcasting Company) which debuted in October 1926 and is still around today, though mainly known these days as a TV network.
