Children rushed home from school to listen to ‘Story Hour’. Someone read an exciting story while the children’s imaginations provided visual images to fit the spoken ines. Families gathered around the radio at night to hear important news or to to listen to favorite programs. Radio was an important form of home entertainment. However, because of television, radio programming has changed. Now radio is a medium that is used more often in a car than a home. Because music and news are the easiest types of programs to listen to in a car, they are the most common. Radio, in fact, has become the music medium. It provides music for all tastes, from country-western to classical.
