On Christmas Eve 1906, Reginald Fessenden used an Alexanderson alternator and rotary spark-gap transmitter to make the first radio audio broadcast, from Brant Rock, Massachusetts . Ships at sea heard a broadcast that included Fessenden playing O Holy Night on the violin and reading a passage from the Bible . In 1920, Guylielmo Marconi came up with the brilliant idea of broadcasting music to the public. The first person to use this microphone was the famous soprano Dame Nellie Melba. The first broadcast took place in a makeshift studio at the Marconi Wireless Telegraph company in their factory in Chelmsford, Essex. It’s the birth of radio as we know it and also led to the birth of the BBC.
