This one is close to home; I've lived in SW PA and Eastern OH my whole life... "Pittsburgh is the site of the first commercial radio broadcast, which marks its centennial anniversary on Nov. 2. To commemorate the event, the National Museum of Broadcasting partnered with Westinghouse Service Uniting Retired Employees (SURE) and Duquesne University to re-enact the first commercial radio broadcast that covered the 1920 election between Republican Warren Harding and Democrat James Cox. Duquesne University will live stream the historic results from a re-constructed version of the original radio shack at the Regional Industry Development Corporation (RIDC) Park in Turtle Creek, just like it did 100 years ago." https://www.wesa.fm/post/re-enactment-commemorates-100th-anniversary-first-commercial-radio-broadcast#stream/0
