  • Published Monday, April 30, 2001, in the Akron Beacon Journal
    Published Monday, April 30, 2001, in the Akron Beacon Journal. http://www.ohio.com/bj/arts_and_living/docs/025177.htm On the air Akron's first radio station crackled to life in 1922 BY MARK J. PRICE , Beacon Journal staff writer Oh, WOE was Akron. When the city's first licensed radio station went on the air in April 1922, the joys of ``wireless telephony'' reverberated throughout the community. Yet the important event became just a footnote in local history books -- if mentioned at all. Perhaps it's because the station had such a short life span. Or perhaps it's because the city's biggest newspaper chose to ignore the station entirely. The Akron Beacon Journal maintained radio silence when the oddly named WOE crackled to life. The newspaper must have considered the broadcaster to be electronic competition. Furthermore, the station was allied with the rival Akron Press, which provided WOE's news bulletins and baseball scores. Ron Syroid of Akron has been piecing together WOE's lost history while doing some research for former Cleveland WMMS program director Donna Halper, an author, radio marketing consultant and instructor at Emerson College in Boston. What little we know of WOE can be found on microfilm reels containing Akron Press articles. So let's start at the beginning. ``IT'S AKRON WOE'' the Akron Press reported on April 13, 1922. ``Local Radio Station Receives License to Broadcast.'' On April 6, the federal government granted permission to Buckeye Radio Service Co. to operate a station at 569 S. Main St. across from B.F.

  • Preserving the Story of Greater Boston's Pioneering Broadcast Stations 1XE And
    Preserving the Story of Greater Boston’s Pioneering Broadcast Stations 1XE and WGI © 2018 Donna L. Halper, Ph.D. Station 1XE, later known as WGI and then WARC, was also known as “the AMRAD station.” But by any name, it was one of the first radio stations in the United States to broadcast voice and music, beginning in 1916. It had one of radio’s first women announcers; it offered some of the first regular newscasts; and in early 1922, it began providing college courses by radio. The AMRAD station was also home to many of greater Boston’s best-loved entertainers and announcers, some of whom went on to national fame. Yet today, this pioneering radio station is all but forgotten. Media historian Donna Halper takes a closer look at the AMRAD station’s history, discuss- ing its important role in early broadcasting, and why it deserves to be remembered. Station 1XE, later known as WGI in when most people think of Boston’s radio 1922 and WARC in 1925, was a pioneer- history, the name of WBZ-AM imme- ing radio station and one of the first in diately comes to mind.
