Historical Note
In 1895, Marconi had the first succesful long distance radio transmission, spanning approximately 1.5 miles. As technology allowed radio to become a better communication and entertainment medium, it grew rapidly. By the 1940s, most households had a receiver and many commercially produced shows were available. Adaptations of written works, such as the "Children's Friend of the Air" programs in the Lois Lois Milner collection of broadcast radio audio recordings were common as well.
