Radio waves were predicted in 1864, by James Clerk Maxwell, and discovered by Heinrich Hertz in 1885.
Mahlon Loomis, an American dentist, invented a sort of radio in 1866. Nikola Tesla invented radio communication, and showed it off in 1893.
But it was Guglielmo Marconi, an Italian, who made the first practical radio, in 1895.

I just learned about all this in my mass media class. Mark Hoonie was the first person to "discover" a form of radio waves, and he sold the patent to the British, who used to waves on ships and military uses. There are two people creditied to discovering sound, they are Reginal Fenzly(Im not sure thats the exact right last name, but its what I thougt it was) and Lee Deforest. I cant tell you who invented the actuall first radio thought, sorry.

Many people were involved in the invention of radio transmission of information as we know it today. Despite this, during its early development and long after wide acceptance, disputes persisted as to who could claim sole credit for this obvious boon to mankind. Much of this argument was and is driven by perceived profit or national pride, and so tends to consider such issues as 'the first practical...' (for a given definition of 'practical'), or whether the development took place in the inventor's country of birth or not.
James Clerk Maxwell performed the theoretical physical research that correctly predicted the existence of radio (and all other electromagnetic) waves. David E. Hughes was the first to transmit Morse code by radio, but scientists of his time were not quick to recognize Maxwell's theories nor that Hughes' apparatus demonstrated anything other than induction. Heinrich Rudolf Hertz was the experimental physicist who first created radio waves in a controlled manner. None, though, devised practical systems for their widespread use. Later developments are greater or lesser engineering developments of their work and so lead to the 'inventions of radio': the objects, processes, or techniques to transceive information, which are certainly major developments in the field.
