The First Broadcast
THE claim of being the first individual to initiate a public broadcasting service is being advanced by Mynheer H. S. Steringa Idzerda, of The Hague, who states that broadcasting history was begun when he conducted public demonstrations in Utrecht in 1919 at the Third Dutch Trade Fair. From a room at oné end of the town he transmitted a flute solo with an aerial power of 5 watts, being heard not only at the fair, but over 100 miles away. Barly in 1920 the concerts beeame a weekly feature. KDKA, Pittsburgh, which has often claimed pioneer honours, did not begin regular programmes until the autumn of that year.
