Radio broadcasting was the cheapest form of entertainment, and it provided the public with far better entertainment than most people were accustomed to. As a result, its popularity grew rapidly in the late 1920s and early 1930s, and by 1934, 60 percent of the nation's households had radios.

Family Theater

Broadcast History: 13 February 1947 to 4 July 1956

Family Theater was a program created to promote family unity and each week saw a drama illustrating the importance of family life and prayer. The shows are not, however, as one might think, overtly religious and it is almost impossible to tell them apart from other dramas of the time. The main reason for the success of this series was undoubtedly due to the numerous Hollywood stars that participated.
