December 9
On this day in 1940, The Longines Watch Company became the first FM radio advertiser when it signed a contract with W2XOR in New York City, an experimental station.
On this day in 2004, Boston radio listeners lost one of that city's most listened to and respected talk show hosts, David Brudnoy, who succumbed to cancer. During his career, he worked at WBZ-AM, WHDH-AM, and WRKO-AM. He was 64.
