Each year on August 20, National Radio Day celebrates the amazing invention of radio. No single person can be credited with radio’s creation. Instead, technologies pioneered by a number of innovators including Guglielmo Marconi, Heinrich Hertz and Nikola Tesla led to the development of the radio as we know it.
