Radio Drama Stations
Radio drama achieved widespread popularity within a decade of its initial development in the 1920s. By the 1940s, it was a leading international popular entertainment. With the advent of television in the 1950s, however, radio drama lost some of its popularity, and in some countries, has never regained large audiences. However, recordings of OTR (Old-time radio) survive today in the audio archives of collectors and museums.
As of 2006, radio drama has a minimal presence in the United States. Much of American radio drama is restricted to rebroadcasts or podcasts of programs from previous decades. However, other nations still have thriving traditions of radio drama. The BBC for example,produces and broadcasts hundreds of new radio dramas per year on Radio 4, BBC 7 and Radio 3.
