Notes

• Some sentences have a lot of references (eg ... a live Metropolitan Opera House performance by several famous opera singers. has 6, This event is regarded as the birth of public radio broadcasting. also has 6) - are all of these needed?

• Birth of public radio broadcasting#Transmitter - "The broadcast was also heard in Bridgeport, Connecticut." - how far away is that?

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:46, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

• Birth of public radio broadcasting#Transmitter - doesn't need its own sub section, only 1 line. See MOS:BODY

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:46, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

• Birth of public radio broadcasting#Other broadcasts - shouldn't have a section with only one subsection; suggest removing the subsection heading

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:46, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

• This article doesn't seem to broadly cover the topic. There should be discussion of, eg, the historical significance (elaborate on This marked the beginning of what would become nearly universal wireless radio communication.), the immediate impacts, if any, etc

 Done See new section on Immediate impact --Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:23, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Discussion

I have placed this review on hold pending resolution of the issues noted above --DannyS712 (talk) 02:20, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

@DannyS712: I have addressed all the issues. Can you take a look at it now. Thanks.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:26, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

@Doug Coldwell: I took a look; I still feel that the impact isn't quite clear - what impact did it have on things other than radio broadcast? Eg History of radar#Significance covers the impact radar had on World War II and modern science. Did public radio broadcasting lead to a new method of advertising? A new tool for propaganda? More access to news? If you can add something like that it would be great; if not, I'll do a final read through and finish the review. Thoughts? --DannyS712 (talk) 06:37, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

@DannyS712: Significance section added. Please take another look at it again. Thanks.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:44, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
