Definition(s)

  • In the 1930s and 1940s, before the advent of television, radio was by far the most important mass medium, providing drama, comedy, and variety entertainment as well as news and commentary to immense audiences. Radio personalities such as Jack Benny and Walter Winchell drew weekly audiences that have rarely been equaled by any television show.
