The sound of the state

Pittsburgh's KDKA is usually credited with the first commercial radio broadcast, the Harding–Cox election results on 2 November 1920. Philadelphia gave the world the Philly soul of Gamble and Huff. Philadelphia radio, soul radio and the history of radio go further.

Listening from elsewhere

Pennsylvania keeps Eastern time — five hours behind UTC in winter and four in summer.
