Mahoning Valley Historical Society celebrates century of broadcasting
YOUNGSTOWN - A century ago, a Youngstown resident turned on a homemade transmitter and put the Mahoning Valley on the air. On Thursday, Sept. 24, Mahoning Valley Historical Society will celebrate 100 years of local broadcasting with an evening of stories, memories and insights from the people who have helped bring the news and entertainment into our homes.
This free event will be held at 6:30 p.m. at Tyler History Center, 325 W. Federal St. in downtown Youngstown. No registration is required.
The story began on Sept.26, 1926, when Warren P. Williamson Jr. broadcast the first WKBN Radio signal. According to Bill Lawson, executive director of Mahoning Valley Historical Society, "Mr. Williamson set up an antenna from his house to his garage in the back of the property. This was on the south side of Youngstown, and he put his transmission equipment in the bathroom of the second floor and ran cables down."
Additional radio stations joined the market, and television arrived in the 1950s, bringing local news, personalities, sports and entertainment directly into area homes.
The evening will feature a panel of local broadcasting personalities who will share stories and memories from their careers in radio and television. Panelists include Michelle Nicks, Rich Morgan and Lynn Williamson, with Stan Boney serving as moderator.
