Birth of public radio broadcasting is credited to Lee de Forest. A 1907 Lee De Forest company advertisement said,
“It will soon be possible to distribute grand opera music from transmitters placed on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House by a Radio Telephone station on the roof to almost any dwelling in Greater New York and vicinity...
