00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Happy World Radio Day, pal back Atcherer Brother Rodney. I'm

5
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:17.800
<v Speaker 2>a big fan of the radio. I've always been a

6
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:20.359
<v Speaker 2>big fan of the radio. Listened to it as a kid,

7
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.480
<v Speaker 2>listen to my favorite DJs. I used to listen to

8
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:27.039
<v Speaker 2>the school closings in the morning. First thing I ever

9
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:30.039
<v Speaker 2>bought with my paper route money, which was really my

10
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:33.759
<v Speaker 2>first job. I was in sixth grade. I took all

11
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:37.240
<v Speaker 2>my Christmas tips and I bought a boombox. Bought a

12
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:39.759
<v Speaker 2>radio with a cassette in the middle with the two speakers.

13
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that was the first thing I ever bought.

14
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:43.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm radio.

15
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:46.119
<v Speaker 1>Very nice, all right.

16
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:50.320
<v Speaker 2>So I because it's World Radio Day, I became an

17
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:52.920
<v Speaker 2>official holiday in twenty twelve, I thought i'd bring you

18
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:53.880
<v Speaker 2>some radio facts.

19
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:55.159
<v Speaker 1>I hope you're not bored by these.

20
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.399
<v Speaker 2>The first commercial radio broadcast was over one hundred years ago.

21
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:03.640
<v Speaker 2>It happened on November second, nineteen twenty. The first radio

22
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 2>station went live. Now there are over fifteen thousand radio

23
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:13.640
<v Speaker 2>stations in the US alone. A poll a few years

24
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:18.319
<v Speaker 2>ago ranked radio as the eleventh most important invention of

25
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:24.359
<v Speaker 2>old time, that is f who. Top three vote getters

26
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:27.079
<v Speaker 2>were electricity, phones and vaccines.

27
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.159
<v Speaker 1>Radio justice just missed the top.

28
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:37.719
<v Speaker 2>Ted, Sorry, that's my radio voice. Most of you are

29
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.159
<v Speaker 2>listening to us in your cars in the morning.

30
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.

31
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:44.599
<v Speaker 2>The Model T came out in nineteen oh eight. Cars

32
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:50.680
<v Speaker 2>didn't get radios until the nineteen thirties. It cost an

33
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:53.239
<v Speaker 2>extra one hundred and thirty dollars to get a radio

34
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:58.519
<v Speaker 2>in your car in nineteen Thirty's dumb the car. It's

35
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:00.879
<v Speaker 2>two thousand, three hundred dollars in today is money? Just

36
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:04.519

<v Speaker 2>the conversation. One of the big, one of the big

38
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.800
<v Speaker 2>initiatives right now with World Radio Day this year is
