Radio station 2XG, also known as the "Highbridge station", was an experimental station located in New York City - wikipedia 
In 1916 it became the first radio station employing a vacuum-tube transmitter to make news and entertainment broadcasts on a regular schedule, and, on November 7, 1916, became the first to broadcast U.S. presidential election returns by spoken word instead of Morse code.
