The 1920’s sparked an influx in consumerism, and brought about the rise of commercials. Broadcasting companies realized they could make a profit on selling spots on the air for advertisements, and with society on a high of purchasing all kinds of new products, it was deemed as a good idea. This radio commercial became popular and changed the way society viewed objects and their impacts. When this new form of entertainment emerged it became a daily enjoyment and became a family-oriented amusement. Families could now tune in to the radio to find out the new innovative things in the world and where to get them. Advertisement shaped the radio industry because it brought more buyers to the market. Through radio advertisements, the government was able to seize the opportunity to reach out towards the population and inform them of important announcements.
Just as in Radio Days, the commercial for the Masked Avenger caused the little boy to want the product continually, leading him to actually steal the donation money from the church to buy it. Still today, commercials dominate the media in an attempt to encourage and persuade people to buy certain products. This commercial broadcasting has caused an increase in the number of radio stations on the air. A dramatic increase from the 1920’s, the radio has expanded today into a major entertainment source; all started form the increase in consumerism from the twenties.
