Abstract

This book is organized in a chronological pattern with short chapters (34 chapters in 290 pages). There are three main parts. The first part follows the growth and development of radio. The second section focuses on programming that characterized radio's golden age. The final section discusses the years when radio's success peaked, was challenged by television, and ultimately declined under the commercial and regulatory changes of modern times. Not a scholarly book, the author nonetheless provides an extensive list of scholarly works in the book's bibliography. The book is both informative and entertaining and offers lots of supporting documentation. It offers a readable, easily accessible, basic interpretation of radio history.
