PCGG (also known as the Dutch Concerts station) was a radio station located at The Hague in the Netherlands, which began broadcasting a regular schedule of entertainment programmes on 6 November 1919. The station was established by engineer Hanso Idzerda, and is believed to have been Europe's first sustained broadcasting station,[2] as well as one of the first stations in the world to transmit entertainment intended for a general audience.[3]
PCGG's schedule generally featured one or two evening programmes per week. Although located on the west coast of Holland, the station had a large audience across the English Channel in Great Britain. However, Idzerda ran into financial difficulties, and PCGG's licence was revoked on 11 November 1924, one month before his company, Nederlandsche Radio-Industrie, shut down due to bankruptcy.

^On 28 March 1914 the first of a short-lived series of weekly concerts, under the oversight of Robert Goldschmidt, was made from a station located at the Royal Castle of Laeken near Brussels, Belgium. ("Concerts by Wireless", London Times, 30 March 1914, page 8.) However, just four months later the entire station complex was destroyed in order to avoid its falling under the control of invading German troops.
^In the United States, Charles "Doc" Herrold of San Jose, California inaugurated weekly concert broadcasts in 1912. In the fall of 1916, Lee de Forest began daily broadcasts over station 2XG in New York City. Both stations were required to cease operating in April 1917 due to the entrance of the United States into World War I.
