User submitted facts and corrections:
  • Who was the first radio DJ? The first time a record was broadcast over radio waves was at 9 PM on Christmas Eve, 1906, from Brant Rock, Massachusetts, about ten miles north of Plymouth Rock. Reginald Fessenden, a Canadian engineer who had worked for Edison and Westinghouse, managed to bewilder an audience of startled telegraph operators on United Fruit Company ships scattered about in the Atlantic Ocean. Having no program director to dictate content, he sang (badly), played Oh Holy Night on the violin, read the Christmas story from the New Testament, and spun a wax cylinder recording of a slow piece (titled simply, “Largo”) by George Frederick Handel.
