Radio broadcasts have been a popular entertainment since the 1920s, though popularity has declined a little in some countries since television became widespread.
In the early radio age, content typically included a balance of comedy, drama, news, music and sports reporting.
U.S. radio programs included the most famous Hollywood talent of the day.
Despite radio's majority use being spoken entertainment, the Grand Ole Opry, as of 2006 being the longest-running radio program, has been focused on broadcasting country music since it began in 1925.
Radio soap operas did not begin in the U.S. until 1930 with "Painted Dreams".

Do you people really like history?! I absolutely hate it. The only thing I like about history is our teacher because he's really funny but we're getting a new teacher soon anyway. I just find it insanely boring. And yes, I prefer maths to history. All my friends are doing history for their exams, I seem to be the only one who isn't. I know some people might find it interesting, but I'm definitely not one of those people :)

In the mid 20's, larger stations began to develop programs using announcers or narrators. These programs used definite openings and closings and were built around specific program ideas. Radio drama was born in 1927, when networks began adapting short stories, and even writing original scripts, for broadcast.
During the last part of the 1920's many one-hour, sponsored network programs started. Musical variety and concert music programs were the most popular forms during this period. Some of these network variety programs used a different format each week—a musical program one week, a talk or a debate the next week, and perhaps a dramatization the third week. During this period the network schedules included two or three minstrel variety programs and a comedy variety program using a series of several comedy acts in a half hour. Song-and-patter teams, usually two person teams that used talk between songs, became popular during this period. Later on patter-only comedy acts appeared. The Amos 'n' Andy show was one of the first to use this format. At first Amos 'n' Andy presented patter five nights a week for fifteen minutes each night.

Think Orson Wells. Stories over the radio instead of TV. Picture families listening to "Alien Invasion" in their livingrooms.
