One of the most wonderful discoveries made by man is radio. It is the wireless transmission of signals or sounds through free space. It was used during the wars for sending diplomatic and confidential messages. Before the advent of television, radio was used for broadcasting not only news and music, but dramas, comedies and other shows. Radio was the only means of mass media that used sound. Today, we use radio mainly for listening to music and the daily news. People who drive cars listen to it to get information about the road traffic. As for me, I like certain radio tunes, especially Europa Plus. I think it’s the best radio channel in our country. When I want to listen to English speech, I turn on the BBC channel. Mobile phones and MP3 players have made this even easier. I can listen to the radio anytime and anywhere I wish, not only at home or in my dad’s car. Radio is also one of the most powerful means of media. That’s why many large and small businesses advertise on radio nowadays. There are many funny jokes, personal horoscopes, interactive games and interesting talk shows on the air. I listen to the wireless almost every evening.
