Is there any doubt about Fessenden's claim of making the first radio broadcast of entertainment and music?

  • Yes

  • No

  • It's unclear

  • Not at all

Answer

Yes, there is doubt about Fessenden's claim. While he made significant contributions to early radio technology and transmitted audio signals in 1900, other inventors such as Reginald Fessenden and Lee de Forest were also involved in early radio experimentation, making it difficult to definitively credit any single individual with the "first" radio broadcast of entertainment and music.
