As we previously reported, this month marks the 100th anniversary of Radio News, which first appeared under the name Radio Amateur News. The magazine was founded by Hugo Gernsback, and was published by the Experimenter Publishing Company. That company went bankrupt ten years later, but the magazine continued, sans Gernsback.

Undaunted, Gernsback formed the competing Techni-Craft Publishing Corporation, and put out the first issue of Radio Craft magazine 90 years ago this month, July 1929. The two magazines competed and prospered for decades thereafter.
