Remember how America used to be. Listen to the old-time radio. The real America is here.  Before television, radio was the dominant home entertainment medium. Old time radio and the golden age of radio refer to a period of radio programming in the United States lasting from the proliferation of radio broadcasting in the early 1920's until televisions replacement of radio ad the dominant home entertainment medium of the late 1950's. During this period, when radio was dominant and the airwaves were filled with a variety of radio formats and genres, people regularly tuned in to their favorite radio programs. In fact, according to a 1947 C.E. Hooper survey, 82 out of 100 Americans were found to be radio listeners.
