| | Radio programming |
 | | Radio broadcasts have been a popular entertainment since the 1910s, though popularity has declined a little in some countries since television became widespread. |
 | | In the late 1940s and early 1950s, television eroded the popularity of most of these type of radio shows, and by the late 1950s radio broadcasting took on much the form it has today — strongly focused on music, news and sports, though drama can still be heard, especially on the BBC. |
 | | There has been a recent resurgence of interest in what is now called old-time radio or the "Golden Age of Radio", with surviving shows being traded and collected in reel-to-reel, cassette, CD, and MP3 format. |
