Summary
"This book takes a look at the growth of radio from its infancy in the 1930s into a dynamic communications force that helped change Charleston from what it was to what it is today, providing people with a seemingly never ending variety of information and entertainment. It also looks at the ways that radio itself has changed ... as it has responded to changing demographics, technology, and competition from other media. Most importantly, this history is about many of the remarkable people who have played key roles in the development of radio in Charleston."--Jacket
