With the advancements in communication technology, people now have access to various events happening around the globe through televisions and the internet. Nevertheless, it is undeniable that radio broadcasting-through radio sets-still plays an important role in the dissemination of information--as well as in providing entertainment-to the public.
Radio broadcasting is technically defined as a one-way transmission over radio-waves intended to reach a wide audience. It is done by linking radio networks to broadcast common programming via cable FM, local wire networks, satellite, and the Web. The history of radio broadcasting dates back to 1899 when wireless communication was setup between France and England by Guglielmo Marconi.
In 1906 it was claimed that Reginald Aubrey Fessenden, a naturalized American citizen born in Canada, performed the first radio transmissions of voice and music which occurred on Christmas Eve during said year. Since then, various experiments on radio communication have been done-from devices that allow only two parties to communicate to more advance projects allowing signal to be transmitted to larger audiences.
In August 1920, the first ever news bulletin was broadcasted to public from Station 8MK in Detroit, Michigan. By 1922, radio broadcasts were used to send out entertainment over the airwaves from Marconi, Institute at Wrisstle. By 1930 until the late 1940s, radio broadcasting experienced its "golden age" until the advent of the television. During the 80s, the use of radio sets to listen to radio broadcasts has decreased with the increasing popularity of the television. Nevertheless, by the 90s, with FM broadcasts formatted to provide music, news, weather, and sports broadcast, FM stations began dominating the market again.
Radio sets, then and up till now - despite wide access to the internet and other means - is still considered indispensible part radio broadcasting. Radios can be of great company, whatever time is it and wherever you are. At home, in the car, in shopping malls, and even in parks, one can still listen to radios.
Though television has taken over much of the entertainment, news, and sports event duties, there are still a number of aspects where radios are more necessary. Local radio stations, for example, are vital for communities keeping members of the covered group up to date with local news and other upcoming events local to the community. Also, people wanting to have their voices and opinions heard often opt for radio phone-ins. More importantly, especially for travellers who just can't make it to a television, radio broadcasting is still the next best thing.
Today, broadcasting can be of any type. Depending on whom the target market of the radio station is, radio broadcasting contents. Radio broadcasting can either be a National Radio, Regional Radio station, a Local Radio, or a Community radio. These types of radio broadcasts cover or serve a specific amount of area. National, for example, covers radio broadcast nationwide while local radios provide broadcasts similar to information found on local newspapers. Other types of radio broadcasts are internet, cable and satellite stations, hospital, student or university campus radio, and/or pirate radio stations.
Radio sets are still considered important parts of our everyday lives, especially with the still thriving support of different communities for radio broadcast. Radio sets, through radio broadcasting contribute to the propagation of information as well as providing entertainment.
