Television was experimental until about 1940 when a few stations began broadcasting. World War II shoved television onto a back burner and it did not become a major medium until the late 40's.
I remember when we listened to the radio at night like we later watched TV. Radio drama, quiz shows, variety shows, news specials, and much more were brought into the living room by this wonderful medium.
Then television came in and took its place. It's not bad, but somehow I think radio was better. I remember baseball games, the Indianapolis 500, political conventions, and more on television.
Who agrees with me? What are the chances old-fashioned radio could make a comeback--possibly through satellite radio?
