San Francisco, CA. June 14, 2005 - BRS
Media's dotFM®, the exclusive worldwide registry for Web addresses
ending in .FM, today congratulates FM Radio on its 70th anniversary. On
June 16, 1935, the first demonstration of a new, static-free
broadcasting technology called Frequency Modulation or FM, for short was
shown to the public.
FM radio inventor Edwin Howard Armstrong was honored this past weekend
in a radio broadcast on Fairleigh Dickinson University's WFDU (89.1 FM).
The station marked the 70th anniversary of that first FM test with a
special broadcast from the Alpine, New Jersey transmitter Armstrong
built for FM's first broadcast in 1935. That broadcast also aired Online
at www.wfdu.fm
and on 42.8 MHz, the original frequency of the transmittals from a radio
tower Armstrong built in Alpine. WFDU will rebroadcast the entire
program on the Web (www.wfdu.fm)
at 7 p.m. EDT on June 14 and June 16, 2005. WFDU’s transmitter is on the
same site as the world's first FM radio station; that tower is named in
memory of Major E.H. Armstrong, the inventor of FM radio.
"It’s a significant anniversary in the history of radio. In 1935 Major
Armstrong, the electronics genius who invented FM radio, saw his
invention as a potentially huge broadcast breakthrough." remarked George
T. Bundy, Chairman & CEO of BRS Media Inc. "70 years later his dream
still exists. It’s exciting to see WFDU honor this inventor with this
historic rebroadcast both On Air and Online."
