Televisions and internet are one of the main outputs of advancements in technology. These tools have made access to different events happening around the globe easier and faster. However, radio broadcasting, done through radio sets, is undoubtedly still an important tool in providing information as well as entertainment to the public.
The one way transmission over radio waves of information in order to reach a wide audience is the basic definition of radio broadcasting. In order to be able to do this, cable FM, local wire networks, satellite and the web are all linked together to broadcast a common programming. Radio broadcasting history dated back in 1899 when by Guglielmo Marconi set-up a wireless communication between France and England.
After this, in the year 1906, a naturalized American Citizen from Canada named Reginald Aubrey Fessenden, performed the first radio transmissions of voice and music which occurred on Christmas Eve during said year. Different experiments regarding radio communication has since then been performed. Devices allowing communication to only two parties to more complicated projects which allow signal to be transmitted to larger audiences are just some of the most popular experiments done.
August 1920 marked the first ever news bulletin which was broadcasted by Station 8Mk in Detroit, Michigan. The Marconi Institute of Whisstle on the other hand started broadcasting entertainment news over the airwaves in 1922. From 1930's to the late 1940's, the "golden age" of radio broadcasting happened. However, in the 1980's, due to the advent of the television, a decline in the popularity and demand for radio broadcasting has been observed. The popularity of the television increased tremendously that radio broadcasting suffered. Later, by the year 1990, radio broadcasting started to once again pick up when FM radio station started to provide music, news, weather, and sports broadcast.
Then and now, radio broadcasting through radio sets-or through the internet and other means today-is still deemed indispensable. Radios are a great company any time, any place, and anywhere. It can be listened to at home, in the car, at work, in shopping malls, or even in parks.
There are still a number of times where radios are deemed necessary despite the popularity of television in terms of entertainment, news, and sports event duties. One of the most important functions of radio sets is that they provide up to date information, news, and upcoming events vital to the community. Also, radio phone-ins are opted by individuals who want to have their voices and opinions to be heard. For those who have limited or no access to television, radio sets are still considered the next best thing.
Depending on the radio stations target market, radio broadcasting can come in many types. The contents of a radio broadcast can either be classified as National Radio, Regional Radio station, a Local Radio, or a Community radio. These types only cover specific regions. An example is the difference in news contents of a national and community radio. National radio covers national news while a community radio provides news that is more than likely will be seen in local newspapers. Radio broadcasting can also be classified as internet, cable and satellite stations, hospital, student or university campus radio, and/or pirate radio stations.
Radio sets are still indispensable to our day-to-day living. With its contributions not only in the propagation of information but in providing entertainment as well, radio broadcasting is still a thriving community that is still supported by people.
