The Radio Industry of the 1920s.

In the 1920s, much of the radio industry developed because of the audience's demand for what was being listened to; it determined what was broadcast on the radio at the time and made a difference on what is being chosen to be broadcast on radio today. The audience's choice in content created stirs in society as a whole. New ideas were being established and "mass produced" throughout the population of the area, and government would have to step in and perhaps censor what was being said. At the very beginning, people were amazed by what radio could do, and there was pretty much a channel/show for everyone to enjoy.

The radio industry in the 1920s set the foundation of what our media is like today-- what is/is not or can/cannot be shown, what people like to see/hear, etc. For example, RCA was the first huge radio broadcasting company, developed by Sarnoff. In 1926, the NBC radio network was developed by RCA, and today it has become a huge television broadcasting company, broadcasting television shows that millions of happy viewers avidly follow.
