On this day: November 6
Abraham Lincoln is elected president, New Jersey hosts the first intercollegiate football game, Phil Donahue debuts his TV talk show, and the punk band the Sex Pistols make their debut, all on this day.
1935: Electrical engineer and inventor Edwin H. Armstrong announces his development of FM broadcasting. Rather than varying ("modulating") the amplitude of a radio wave to encode an audio signal, the new method varied the frequency. FM enabled the transmission and reception of a wider range of audio frequencies, as well as audio free of static, a common problem in AM radio.
