Radio Research-Entertainment

    The 1930s was the prime time for radios and broadcasting. In fact, the 1930s was known as the “golden age” for radios. Radio broadcasting became a major inspiration to people and united different communities of people together. During the 1930s, radios helped to establish national broadcasting. Some of these broadcasting networks still exist today such as NBC and CBS. The 1930s also introduced the idea of advertising products with jingles and slogans. The main products that were advertised were things such as shaving cream, soup, cokes, hallmark cards, kellogg’s, cigarettes, and different breads.
