Radio isn't dead, in fact it is growing in popularity again with many young people getting into the hobby. I won't say who I am but I will say I am a licensed amateur radio operator here in Australia. The HF bands are very busy still. also VHF and UHF are doing well, many are now using DMR (a mix of internet and radio) but we are still alive and kicking. Even the CB bands have made a come back with 35 lower sideband (27.355mhz ) very active at times.
This is Great. As someone who father grew up around this time, I used to listen to the old time radio shows that my father grew up listening to. I enjoyed this and it’s fun to watch.
William J. Ganz produced several "industrial films" for RCA during the '40s and '50s (including "The Story of Television" in 1956). You can bet this was also seen on their New York TV station, WNBT, at the time [1944]...yes, there WERE television broadcasts back then, but restricted to about four hours a week because of the war, and usually limited to war-related programs {including civil defense instruction}, with occasional live entertainment and assorted short films....
...and there were only three stations on the air in the New York area in 1944: WNBT {now WNBC}, WCBW {WCBS}, and WABD {WNYW}, seen by only a few hundred sets in the Metropolitan area [those that were working, anyway].
The handheld Radio show in the video in the end was a MOTOROLA brand. .the only do you must wait about 30 more years to see the Motorola first Cell Phone ..
@@potatosalad5355 Yep the "walkie talkie" was a Galvin Manufacturing product, Galvin later changed their name to Motorola as their next big idea was radios and phonographs for cars.
Man you just made that up. Cells been around lot longer den dat. I saw a movie bout windtokkers in worldwar 2 where they be using big huge cell phones wit long antenna. Dat was in da 20's. You reed histroy book.
Dumb dumb those are radios and the movie windtalkers was based in the 40s and you need to read a history book because ww2 was from 1939 to 1945 not in da 20s
