Radio

In the beginning, radio was used for advertising. Broadcast was all live and was group communication because not everyone could afford a radio. I thought that the history of radio was very interesting. I never knew that radio was used for church, and a mass form of advertising. Now, radio is mainly advertising and I never connected the old radio with the new radio.

During the lecture, Miller told us that KDKA was the oldest radio station and that it still exists today. I immediately wanted to hear what their radio station sounded like and how they broadcasted music, news, and advertisements. To my surprise, KDKA was mostly local traffic updates, news, and weather. I was disappointed because, to me, radio is music and blocks of weather and traffic updates, not multiple blocks of traffic and weather.
