The radio was a much bigger deal than it is now. I can remember old episodes of the 1970's TV series "The Waltons", which was about a large family living though the depression. The entire family would gather around the radio for both news and entertainment. I believe that before TV, they actually had weekly "shows", like soap operas, on the radio and people would tune in on a regular basis.
