To 19 10, "live" and pre-recorded sound have been used in regular broadcasting. In the early days of broadcasting, the content usually included comedy, drama, news, music and sports reports. In the1920s, Juke joint (the earliest ballroom) became popular, with places for dancing and drinking, and music jukeboxes. 1927, Christopher Si Tong became the first radio announcer in Britain.

1930s- 1950s

1935, Walter Winchell, an American radio commentator, coined the term "disc jockey" (the combination of records refers to the recording and jockey, and the jockey is the operator of a machine).

The federal court ruled that it was only established in 1940, and the record artist had no legal right to control the use of records and then sell them.

Freed is often called "the father of rock music" because of the music he promoted and the phrase "rock" radio station he introduced in the early 1950s. Freed is an African-American artist, and his practice of showing music has also been proved, instead of covering the version of white artists in his radio programs.
