The radio is a modern electronic wonder. The fervor of the 1920s continues to this day. Although the basic receivers have changed to sleeker avatars, the awe and intrigue around this 24 hour entertainment medium continues. The radio remains an electronic benchmark in more than one ways. The first radio station at Chicago, set up in 1921 by the Westinghouse Manufacturing Company, initiated a trend that countries across the globe soon followed. Broadcasts remain pretty similar even today, including popular music, commentaries on sporting events, lectures, newscasts, weather reports and fiscal market updates. The radio is rightly adjudged as an ethnic connection between various communities and interests. Today, a number of radio stations compete for air-time and listeners, offering listeners a public service that is not only affordable, but also portable.
