Experimenter Publishing was an
American media company founded by
Hugo Gernsback in 1915. The first magazine was
The Electrical Experimenter (1913–1931) and the most notable magazines were
Radio News (1919–1985) and
Amazing Stories (1926–2005). Their radio station,
WRNY, began broadcasting experimental television in 1928. In early 1929 the company was forced into bankruptcy and the Gernsback brothers lost control of Experimenter Publishing. The magazines did not miss an issue and were quickly sold to another publisher. The Gernsbacks promptly started new magazines to compete with their former ones.
