  • Radio didn’t survive TV. It didn’t totally die yet, but it’s been trending towards death. Lots of radio shows couldn’t transition to TV and died out. Lots of stations simply stopped existing, or relied more heavily on syndication. It wasn’t all TV related, as systems advanced, you didn’t need a DJ selecting and playing individual songs. Companies were also allowed to own more stations from the 80s to 96 when all caps were removed, which led.to massive consolidation.

    Podcasting has led to a resurgence of the talk show format, but less so radio.

    Radio still exists, but it’s mostly due to the last vestiges of public good legislation.
