The radio is a way of sound communication by radio waves, which can usually be transmitted through news, music, and broadcast stations for individual listeners who have radio receivers.
The first practical wireless radio was invented in Italy by an Italian physicist Guglielmo Marconi in 1895. From 1920 through 1945, the radio took the world by storm. This new hobby grew tremendously before World War I. People could listen in with their earphones and get immediate news and updates which left listeners in awe. The PCGG was the name of one of the world's first radio broadcast services which began in the Netherlands in 1919.
The radio gained such a widespread of use that people pulled back from the use of the phonograph, which was also known as a "record player." Cassette tapes and compact discs were introduced. People could finally listen and enjoy music or news from their home or even walking on the streets. They no longer needed to pay to watch a live show or go see shows in the theatre to listen to music. Not just music alone, but comedy programs, broadway singers, and religious programs. This service constituted in the competitive threat between the radio and the television.
The radio was a huge historic mark and continues to be used today nearly 100 years later.
