Jim Cox, author of American Radio Networks, has created a masterpiece of radio history! The writing is clear, highly detailed, easy to read, and fascinating! Cox writes about the early days of radio programming, the primary characters involved, the radio shows--how they developed and what happened to them. I was surprised to learn how many radio programs became popular television programs in t.v.'s earliest days. Like I say, the book is fascinating to read--both for senior citizens who remember the great days of radio, as well as for those "boomers" born too late to know about radio days. The book is an education! I highly recommend it! DG
