Abstract:

Saintsing presents interesting facts from different dates about the state's radio pioneers, starting in 1922 when Fred Laxton, Earle Gluck, and Frank L. Bunker began broadcasting in Charlotte from Laxton's house and chicken coop up to 1994 when UNC-Chapel Hill's WXYC became the first radio station to launch a streaming Internet broadcast.
