 United States Early Radio History
Broadcasting After World War One (1918-1921) - Although still unfocused, scattered broadcasting activities, taking advantage of the improvements in vacuum-tube equipment, expanded when the radio industry returned to civilian control.
Broadcasting Becomes Widespread (1922-1923) - Led by Westinghouse's 1920 and 1921 establishment of four well-financed stations -- located in or near Pittsburgh, Boston, Chicago and New York City -- there was a growing sense of excitement as broadcasting activities became more organized.

 Who is Talking?
One of the reasons it’s more complicated is that the American Broadcasting Corporation really doesn’t exist anymore.
ABC is owned by the Walt Disney Company and this could mean that when words come out of Jenning’s mouth the who which is speaking is Michael Eisner, Disney's CEO.
Since there is no one owner, but rather stockholders with very little sense of what goes on at Disney on a daily basis (perhaps no idea at all, which is very likely the case), then the who which is speaking is more plausibly considered as a class of people consisting of current and potential stockholders.
