Toronto Psychic, Betsy Balega Accurate on KDKA Show.

Toronto Psychic, Betsy Balega, recently made Political Predictions, on KDKA, Halloween Night, with John McIntire on The Flip Side.

Betsy's predictions for the Senate Seat in Western Pa. came true when Bob Casey, Jr. defeated Rick Santorum last night at the ballot box. Among her other predictions, the Democrats would take Congress and Nancy Polosi, will be the first ever, female Speaker of the House, Duval Patrick to be the new Governor of Massachusettes and many others.

KDKA was the first radio station in America. The events that led to KDKA Radio date back before 1920. Dr. Frank Conrad, Assistant Chief Engineer of Pittsburgh's Westinghouse Electric Company, first became interested in radio in 1912.

In order to settle a $5.00 bet with a co-worker on the accuracy of his $12.00 watch, Conrad built a small receiver to hear time signals from the Naval Observatory in Arlington, VA. (Conrad won the bet). Fascinated with this new hobby, Conrad turned next to construction of a transmitter, which he housed on the second floor of his garage in Wilkinsburg.

The first official record of this station, licensed 8XK, appears in the August 1, 1916 edition of the Radio Service Bulletin. The Bulletin was a monthly publication by the Bureau of Navigation of the U.S. Department of Commerce, the radio licensing agency of that day. Station 8XK was the forerunner of KDKA Radio. And as they say, the rest is History.
