Radio has always been an integral part of our lives whether this was way back in the 70s or even now. Of course, the content that we listened to at that time has changed as well. Take for example, talk radio, which has obviously changed ‘content’ due to either restrictions or changing tastes of a new generation.
And there will be some things that never change due to the timelessness of its content, and in this instance, the reference is to gospel music (especially in the form of black spirituals that have been immortalized) which is loved by one and all, regardless of color, age or nationality especially if you are a Christian and understand English.
Since radio continues to be one of the major forms of entertainment today, most of the stations were only accessible within the United States, but with the advent of the internet, one can access several stations spanning jazz, rock and pop among a slew of other genres through the form of streaming radio. And for those of us who still love music from the eighties or the nineties, one can still find several stations over the internet that offer the best hits during those times as well.
The truth is that despite the onslaught of MTV, radio has survived and is thriving in several forms these days, and perhaps will never die because of its ability to evolve yet cater to people who still enjoy aural pleasures.
