Broadcasting Boom


In 1922, there was a broadcasting boom.  This occurred at technological advances in radio and the industry’s increasing popularity proved the medium to be a valuable commercial tool.  Most radio programs are primarily entertainment-oriented, featuring music or drama.  Other programing involved limited coverage of high-profile political events, sports, and instructional programs on a variety of ordinary topics such as cooking. 
General Electric and Westinghouse's joint corporation, The Radio Corporation of America (RCA), purchases AT&T national radio network to form the much more successful National Broadcasting Company (NBC).
