Montréal’s experimental station XWA aired a major early radio program on this date. The broadcast is often described as a “first real” program produced for radio. It helped push radio from experiments toward scheduled programming. The event is tied to the Canadian Marconi context in Montréal and early North American broadcasting history. It is considered an early milestone in the development of radio as a mass medium. This is an important technology and communications moment linked to Canada’s broadcasting origins.
