Remembering KCBS's origins on World Radio Day

from The State of California

People across the globe are celebrating World Radio Day. In 1909, Doc Herald and others launched the first broadcasting station in the country in San Jose that would later become KCBS. Radio has long been a powerful tool for communication and one non-profit organization in the Bay Area has been working to promote and preserve the history of the audio-only medium for the past 50 years. To talk more about it, KCBS Radio news anchor Bret Burkhart spoke with Rachel Lee, Executive Director of the California Historical Radio Society.
