The nation's first radio station, KDKA in Pittsburgh, began broadcasting in 1920. By 1925, 30 million listeners were tuned in. Almost every family could afford a "wireless." They could enjoy music, sports, plays, news, and speeches in the privacy of their homes. Two favorite comedies were Amos 'n Andy and Fibber McGee and Molly. By mid-decade, advertisers were sponsoring these programs to promote their products. (Make it like a newspaper to advertise the topic of radios. Also make the title of the newspaper to be “make believe magazine U.S. illustrations”) Make it a cartoon that illustrates the topic of radios See more
