Making radio history! 🎄

The first major radio broadcast with voice and music was by Canadian inventor and radio pioneer Reginald Fessenden on Christmas Eve, 1906, in Brant Rock, Massachusetts. During the transmission, he played a piece of music on his violin and followed it by reading the story of the nativity from the gospel of Luke. The song he played on the violin is often cited as being John Sullivan Dwight's 'O Holy Night', making it one of the earliest, if not the first, musical pieces ever transmitted and heard over the radio.

The song has since been recorded by a number of musicians, including Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, and Luciano Pavarotti, and has been voted No.1 in The Nation's Favourite Carol on Classic FM for nine years running.

Voting for the Nation's Favourite Carol 2025 closes on Sunday 14 December at 23:59. Have your say here: https://clssicfm.co/nationsfavouritecarol
