Radio is a form of media that contains such forms as radio commentaries, talk shows, music station programming, and music programs that are local and national. Radio is a form of media that has been in existence for many years, and is helpful because it is able to give information to the public quickly for people who may be at home, in their cars, or at other public events.
According to the online article, The History of Mass Media in America, it states that:
“After the developed of the technology behind radio it became the fast growing and used technology in the United States. Almost every home in America had a radio in their living room. It became a focal point to family life. In fact radio was like television is today. Soap operas, story hours, sitcoms, and commercials played during prime time entertaining American families and creating a windfall of commercial revenue for advertisers and stations.”
You will often hear special guests being interviewed on radio programs. The guests are able to be interviewed and the listeners are able to hear the interview without having to travel to where the guest is having the interview. Radio is helpful because they can re-air some of their programming, whether it is an old interview or even an older concert that has been aired previously.
I have used radio on several occasions on behalf of the choral group that I was once the president of. During the interview, I was able to discuss the group and to give upcoming concert dates. I was also able to have the interviewer play some of the choral group’s music to be heard by the listeners. Radio is also helpful, as in the case of Public Broadcasting Radio, that will air concerts live from time to time.
