Just two years later, after obtaining a Canadian business charter for the <i>Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company of Canada (MWTC)<\/i>, Marconi establishes his company on Notre-Dame Street in Montreal.

Six years later, Fessenden also becomes the first to transmit simultaneously voice and music, which is heard by several ships at sea. Amplitude modulation transmission, commonly known as &#8220;AM,&#8221; has just been invented.

In 1919, XWA is also the first in Canada authorized to experiment with civil transmission and to go on air, making it one of the first broadcasting stations in the world. The following year, on May 20, 1920, XWA successfully completes a pre-announced transmission between Montreal and Ottawa, a first in Canada that marks the era. After being granted a commercial licence, XWA becomes radio station CFCF (Canada&#8217;s First, Canada&#8217;s Finest) in 1922. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--label-1\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-1\">Herbert Berliner&#8217;s interest in radio<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--icon-1\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-1\"><i>Expand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>It is important to note here the collaboration that starts in December 1920 between station XWA and Herbert S.

A radio enthusiast, Herbert organizes a weekly broadcast of musical recordings from the series <i>His Master&#8217;s<\/i> <i>Voice<\/i> with Montreal radio station XWA. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--label-2\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-2\">The craze for radio<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--icon-2\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-2\"><i>Expand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>In 1922, the Government of Canada authorizes commercial broadcasting. The <i>Marconi <\/i>radio station CFCF is soon joined by the <i>Dupuis Fr\u00e8res<\/i>&#8216; CJBC station in June 1922 and, soon after, by other stations, like <i>La Presse<\/i> newspaper&#8217;s <i>C<\/i>KAC, <i>Northern Electric<\/i>&#8216;s CHYC and the <i>University of Montreal<\/i>&#8216;s CFUC. Despite the initial scarcity of receivers and their limited performance, the craze for radio broadcasting accelerates rapidly. In fact, in just 10 years, the number of receivers in Canada increases from 1,000 to 750,000. Through diversification of programs offered, technological improvements and openness to the world, radio is about to begin its golden age. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--label-3\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-3\">Developing programs<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--icon-3\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-3\"><i>Expand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>In 1924, CFCF and CKAC broadcast only a few hours a day, mainly in the evening. When radio stations begin broadcasting more frequently, there grows a need to develop programming of greater interest and diversity. From that moment, music become increasingly important and stations begin to equip their studios with pianos, orchestras and, at CKAC, even a <i>Casavant<\/i> organ. News broadcasting, casual conversation and sports broadcasts, like boxing and hockey, also become very popular. In 1923, CKAC even attempts broadcasting radio drama. Programs focusing on politics and advertising soon follow. The radio becomes a promotional and social action tool. <\/p>\n<h4>\n\t\t1929-1938 &#8211; The Golden Age of Radio in Canada\n\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--label-0\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-0\">Phenomenal growth in times of crisis<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--icon-0\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-0\"><i>Expand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Great Depression has a devastating effect on most economic sectors. Unexpectedly, however, the radio industry experiences growth. Despite the economic hardships of the era, as sales prices drop and basic needs of comfort, ability to access real-time information and entertainment augment, radios come to be perceived as essential assets even by those with limited resources. Recognizing this change, the radio industry works to improve all facets of its product. However, once the crisis is over, radio prices start to increase and some models once again become symbols of prestige. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--label-1\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-1\">Taking advantage of more efficient technologies<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--icon-1\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-1\"><i>Expand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Following the many technological developments of the 1920s, radio sets from the 1930s become easier to operate and more efficient than ever. For example, Torontonian Edward S. Rogers patents an invention that allows the use of alternating currents in supplying electricity, thereby eliminating bulky batteries. Other improvements, such as more powerful electric microphones, reception and signal amplification tubes, as well as the superheterodyne receiver, lead to extraordinary breakthroughs. With access to short-wave, listeners now have an abundance of choice of stations or contacts.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--label-2\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-2\">Increasingly diversified and refined programming<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--icon-2\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-2\"><i>Expand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>In terms of programs offered, the public benefits greatly from numerous improvements, both in terms of diversity and quality of programs. News services become better organized and reports are delivered by more experienced staff. Radio plays and dramas are more prevalent and developed to better suit the medium of radio and the interests of the public. The same is true for sports, advertising, as well as political and public service programs.

In 1924, there are no fewer than nine stations spread across the country. Train passengers and those who live near these stations benefit from their service. In 1932, following the recommendations of the Aird Commission responsible for studying the impact of American radio on Canada, the government buys the <i>CN<\/i> radio stations in order to create the first state radio network in Canada. This network is transformed again in 1936, resulting in the creation of the <i>Canadian Broadcasting Corporation<\/i> (<i>CBC<\/i>). <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--label-4\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-4\">Broadcasting the Berlin Olympic Games<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--icon-4\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-4\"><i>Expand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>During the 1930s, the world of broadcasting was marked by an event which demonstrated, without any doubt, the full potential of radio, namely the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games.

Across Canada, Europe and Asia, there are reports of misinformation, intimidation and propaganda. In Japan, to control the incessant American transmissions, the withdrawal of certain channels from radios is ordered across the country. In occupied France, residents are forced to hand over their receivers to the occupation authorities.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--label-1\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-1\">Participation in the war effort<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--icon-1\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-1\"><i>Expand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Because of the war, all production of domestic radios in Montreal is interrupted for the duration of the war as radio companies devote their energies to the war effort.

Not to be outdone, the <i>RCA Victor<\/i> company introduces the 7&#8243; 45 rpm disc to the market, a single song format that would replace the 78 rpm disc. By making discs affordable for everyone, these small-format recordings allow young people &#8211; just like adults &#8211; to become major music consumers.

All aspects of broadcasting programming are professionalized and improve in quality, diversity and interest for the public. Radio plays, newscasts, coverage of sporting events and call-in shows are now all being operated and produced by employees who have specifically trained for these jobs. Some of the most successful programs are <i>Le<\/i> <i>Chapelet en famille<\/i> (The Family Rosary Hour), brought to life by Cardinal Paul-\u00c9mile L\u00e9ger, &#8220;The Happy Gang&#8221; (1937-1959), &#8220;The Royal Canadian Air Farce&#8221; (1973) and &#8220;As it Happens&#8221;(1968).

However, a variety of factors, including the Second World War, have delayed its full launch. This changes in the early 1950s, as the enthusiasm for the new medium proves overwhelming, the number of households with a television increasing from 3% in 1951 to 85% in 1957.

Later, radios are also combined with cassette tape players (1970s) and CD players (1980s). <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--label-3\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-3\">The arrival of radio networks<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--icon-3\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-3\"><i>Expand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>The 1960s are marked by another significant transformation in the field of radio: in 1967, the creation of the Quebec-wide network of <i>Radiomutuel<\/i> stations and, a few years later, the <i>Telemedia<\/i> network. <i>Radiomutuel <\/i>becomes part of the CJMS network in Montreal and <i>T\u00e9l\u00e9m\u00e9dia<\/i>, part of the CKAC network. By standardizing certain programs across their stations, including newscasts, the two companies experience great success. However, going forward there is a sense that local stations wind up losing some of their original flavour as regional artists progressively migrated toward the larger urban centers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--label-4\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-4\">The conquest of space<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--icon-4\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-4\"><i>Expand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>A final highlight of the 1960s is the beginning of the conquest of space, which will lead to unimaginable technological transformations. In 1961, United States President John F. Kennedy announces his country&#8217;s commitment to go to the moon. Meanwhile, in Montreal, work is already in progress building <i>Alouette 1<\/i>, the satellite to be launched in 1962. <i>Alouette 2<\/i> follows in 1965, <i>ISIS 1 <\/i>in 1969 and <i>ISIS 2<\/i> in 1970. These first few satellites pave the way for the creation of the <i>Anik <\/i>satellite series, designed to provide Canadians with telephone, radio and television services in the 1970s. <\/p>\n<h4>\n\t\t1969-1978 &#8211; The First Communication Satellites\n\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--label-0\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-0\">The invention of microprocessors<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--icon-0\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-0\"><i>Expand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>In the same pursuit of scientific research that brought about transistors and integrated circuits, the first microprocessors are introduced in 1971.<\/p>\n<p> Microprocessors are integrated circuits so powerful they incorporate thousands of components into a single chip, that would formerly be made up of printed circuit boards and other interconnected parts. Microprocessors are used as the Central Processing Units (CPUs) or the brains of today&#8217;s computers. <\/p>\n<p>The miniaturization achieved using these devices has resulted in lower costs and lower energy consumption. As well, these developments have allowed an increase in both the speed of execution and reliability of all sorts of devices.

It is followed by <i>Anik A-2<\/i> five months later and, in 1975, by <i>Anik A-3<\/i>. Covering an area that extends from Victoria, Vancouver and Whitehorse to the west, St. John&#8217;s, Newfoundland to the east, Winnipeg and Toronto to the south and beyond the Northwest Territories to the north, the satellites allow for the retransmission of waves received from individual sources throughout Canada. The satellites make it possible to communicate with even the most remote areas of the country. This technology&#8217;s outreach capacity explains in large part Canada&#8217;s vested interest in the aerospace industry. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--label-2\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-2\">Maximized capacity for action<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--icon-2\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-2\"><i>Expand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>The emergence of means to listen to the whole planet in real time has an influence on radio station programming, here and elsewhere. It impacts on news and media coverage, as we now include international content on a daily basis. Likewise, increased overseas accessibility results in a diversification of cultural, musical, sporting and other programming. Collaborations between broadcasters and interviewers from around the world are now also more frequent. Radio and television are becoming tools allowing&nbsp; us to open up to the world.<\/p>\n<h4>\n\t\t1979-1988 &#8211; A Decade of Profound Change\n\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--label-0\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-0\">The era of satellite communication<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--icon-0\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-0\"><i>Expand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Slow to make its way into our homes, satellite transmission technologies remain expensive and cumbersome during the 1970s. The satellite television industry has grown but remains unpopular. However, this changes at the beginning of the 1980s when prices fall and satellite dishes become smaller and more efficient. While television signals were previously routed via land-based microwave networks, technological advances now allow them to be transmitted via orbiting satellites. In Canada, it is <i>CBC-Radio Canada <\/i>that gets the ball rolling in 1979.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--label-1\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-1\">Introducing personal computers<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--icon-1\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-1\"><i>Expand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>The 1980s will be remembered as the era that, due to miniaturization, saw computer-use evolve from being almost exclusive to large companies and institutions to making its way into the hands of ordinary citizens. While this is not a phenomenon directly associated with broadcasting, it marks a change that will completely transform the way we access information, news and entertainment. During the decade, traditional radio broadcasting networks are, initially, barely affected by the arrival of computers, but some stations soon begin to acquire them.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--label-2\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-2\">The Internet revolution<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--icon-2\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-2\"><i>Expand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Beginning in 1983, a new mode of communication appears: the Internet. A global computer network, consisting of a network of networks, the Internet makes a variety of diverse services, like email, available to the public. The Internet is slow to make an impact with only an estimated 10,000 computers connected to it in 1987. However, it leads to completely new ways of interacting between companies and individuals on a global scale. The computer becomes a direct competitor to the broadcasting sector, as it proves to be an exceptional tool for researching information and for literary, audio and visual entertainment. <\/p>\n<h4>\n\t\t1989-1998 &#8211; The World Wide Web Era\n\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--label-0\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-0\">Personal computers find their place<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--icon-0\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-0\"><i>Expand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>During the last decade of the 20th century, the personal computer became an essential consumer product. As early as 1989, around 100,000 devices were connected to the Internet, 10 times more than just three years earlier. This number increased to 36 million in 1996. Today, just over 20 years later, the number of Internet users worldwide is estimated to be over 4.15 billion. Like radio in the 1930s, television in the 1950s and radio again (transistors this time) in the 1960s and 70s, the personal computer has become another technological agent of transformation in society. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--label-1\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-1\">The World Wide Web<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--icon-1\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-1\"><i>Expand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Among the many developments that made personal computers so popular, the arrival of the World Wide Web (the Web or &#8220;www&#8221;) in 1990 is paramount. The public hypertext system that links web pages together makes it possible to view web pages available on sites from around the world with a web browser. In other words, it gives all Internet users around the world access to all the data made available on the Internet by other users. This level of access to local, national and international information is matched only by the difficulty of determining the veracity of the information.<\/p>\n<h4>\n\t\tRadio in the 21st Century\n\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--label-0\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-0\">The radio adapts to computers<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--icon-0\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-0\"><i>Expand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>In 2000, an estimated 368,540,000 computers were connected to the Internet. The personal computer has become the ultimate communication tool. Internet radio stations now offer targeted content for specific audiences. This format is also very popular with FM stations, which take advantage of the ability to broadcast via the Internet. As with conventional radio stations, online radio stations broadcast various programs, with content that is sometimes very general or often music-driven. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--label-1\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-1\">Computers in the palm of our hand<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--icon-1\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-1\"><i>Expand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>While access to online information and interpersonal communication is already well served by the personal computer, the smartphone emerges in the 21st century.

Connected to the Internet, the smartphone can exchange a wide range of information between Internet users: text messages, phone calls, photographs and videos, all on a global scale and for a reasonable cost. In 2014, smartphone sales exceeded one billion units. <\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tConclusion \n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>Considering the importance of computers and smartphones in society today, one might think it possible that the public&#8217;s interest in traditional radio stations might begin to wane. However, this does not seem to be the case. The radio remains an essential and desired tool for discovering new music and keeping up with the news.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The fact is that radio stations are adapting. They have found a place, for example, on our televisions&#8217; selection of channels. Moreover, morning shows, daytime programming hosted by diverse personalities and evening call-in shows continue to be very popular, especially among motorists and commuters. In fact, the addition of systems connected to the Internet in our cars has resulted in an increase in the availability of Internet radio stations since 2014.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One hundred years ago, when the first broadcasting experiments were attempted in Montreal, few could have guessed the impact they would have on our society.
