Radio Broadcasting

The adventure of radio broadcasting, which is the first of electronic broadcasting, started in the first quarter of the 20th century. Bringing the news and music to homes and workplaces, this tool became the most important means of receiving news in a short time, and it continued to exist until the 1950s as a means of informing and having a good time. With the start of television broadcasts, the attractiveness of visuals has led societies to listen to the radio with a decreasing interest.
This situation has been the same for the Turkish society, which started to listen to radio broadcasts at almost the same time as the world; The only difference is that television broadcasting arrived late in Turkey, so radio broadcasts have been the only electronic news source for the society for a long time, alongside newspapers, with an ever-increasing variety of programs.
The programs in today's radio broadcasts have gone through many stages compared to the past, have developed, diversified as channels, and have become broadcasting with content that addresses the different needs of the listeners. The new listening environments brought by communication technology have also made the radio listener show interest in radio broadcasts again.
