This is just off the top. I have not really researched the topic, but it seems that......since the 1920's, radio has been a mainstay of communications for news and entertainment for almost every human on the planet. Mostly earth-bound broadcasts have supplied this role. Radio waves; electromagnetic radiation, flying through the air, around and through every living thing on the planet. Popular consumer use began with reception devices that were at first called radios. They listened to broadcast media from corporations like Columbia Broadcast System (CBS), American Broadcast Company (ABC) and National Broadcasting Company (NBC) in the United States. The broadcast consisted of news and entertainment. On the entertainment side, music has been featured as the mainstay of popular broadcasts. All kinds of music.
Now it seems people aren't so much interested in listening to a radio. It is not because they don't want to listen to music or watch TV anymore. They're getting their entertainment and news through different devices. The technology that is used to deliver entertainment is evolving. If not radio, what is the popular thing now? Youtube? Are we using our cell phones to watch and listen to Youtube streaming videos as well as audio materials? I ask because I am not. I still listen to FM radio as a background ambience while doing other things such as work. Maybe I'm just an old fool that wants to cling to the devices of my past. Or is radio still with us?
