Life of Radio How Long Radio has Lasted

Radio has been widespread in the United States for nearly a century now, hitting many breakthroughs as time went one. Radio's first major start in the Untied States was in 1922 when broadcasting was happening all over the country, "from small town amateurs to major electrical firms" as mentioned in a article by the Genesis Amateur Radio Society. Radio had hit mainstream decades before television did, and has still managed to be a major part of many peoples lives.

The country still has many radio stations spread across many different areas; cities, small towns, and more are all accessible by radio stations. From well orchestrated music to common noises, sound is something that people have common experiences with everyday, and some people use it for necessary comfort and enjoyment, which are things that are provided by radio. The radio industry has promoted musical talent, delivered important news broadcasts, and has even showcased fully thought out shows that are radio exclusive.

Radio has lasted for so long for reasons such as it's easy accessibility, innovation, and the amount of variety it has in it's content. Even with fields like television and the internet coming in later years radio has still lasted, and will likely be around for the one hundred year mark and many more years to come.
