Radio Act of 1927 passed and Federal Radio Commission created

In 1927, the U.S. Congress passed the Radio Act of 1927, which led to the creation of the Federal Radio Commission (FRC). The Act was introduced to bring order and regulation to the increasingly chaotic and congested radio spectrum. The FRC was tasked with overseeing radio broadcasting and ensuring that frequencies were allocated efficiently and fairly to prevent interference. This legislation marked a significant shift in the regulatory framework for radio communications, establishing government control over the airwaves and laying the groundwork for the later formation of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1934. The Radio Act of 1927 was pivotal in shaping the future of radio broadcasting and the development of the communications industry in the United States.
