First broadcast

According to Official Guinness Records,

The world's first advertised broadcast was made on 24 Dec 1906 by the Canadian-born Prof. Reginald Aubrey Fessenden (1868-1932) from the mast of the National Electric Signalling Company at Brant Rock, Massachusetts, USA. The transmission included Handel's Largo. Fessenden had achieved the broadcast of speech as early as November 1900 but this was highly distorted.
