Document Summary
Competition among media meant that with the arrival of television, radio became obsolete. Guglielmo marconi is credited with creating fm radio. During his lifetime, nikola tesla received much recognition for his wireless inventions. The titanic sank in 1912, resulting in the loss of about fifteen hundred lives; had it not been for radio, seven hundred additional lives would have been lost. The american marconi company had trouble developing as a business after world war i in part because the u. s. navy did not want a foreign-controlled company wielding so much power in the field of emergent radio technologies. Because of the role of the navy in early broadcast history, the united states today has a national broadcasting system both controlled and supervised by the government. Network radio helped modernize america by deemphasizing local in favor of national programs. The radio act of 1927 created the radio corporation of america.
