Timeline of National DJ Day 2022

National DJ Day timeline

1985

Howard Stern fired

Despite high ratings, New York's WNBC Radio famously fired the controversial "shock jock" after a little over three years on the air. Stern would eventually take his show to satellite radio and go on to become one of the most successful radio personalities of all time.

1921

Alan Freed born

Freed, a DJ pioneer, played a mix of blues, country and R&B. What did he call it? Rock and roll! Freed arranged live concerts attended by racially mixed audiences in the 1950s — a breakthrough at the time. He also appeared in several movies.

1909

The first DJ

California's Ray Newby was a 16-year-old college student when he played records from a small transmitter. This predated the term "disc jockey," which wasn't used until decades later.

National DJ Day might celebrate the work of our favorite disc jockeys, but it stems from the work of ONE famous jock: Alan Freed, whom you might know as “Moondog.” This 1950s DJ, who coined the term “rock and roll,” is the reason we honor DJs on January 20. On this day, we celebrate the talents of all the disc jockeys, from those playing the “Chicken Dance” for the millionth time at a wedding, to the radio personalities who help you get through the morning commute.
