FWIW, according to Wikipedia (yep, read this with a grain of salt) under 
their entry for "Disk Jockey" is the following:

In 1906, Reginald Fessenden transmitted the first audio radio broadcast in 
history also playing the first record, a contralto singing Handel's Largo 
from Xerxes.

I hope I don't to explain who Reginald Fessenden is
