Commercial radio

The first commercial radio station in Sydney went to air in 1923, and by the mid-1920s there were a range of stations broadcasting politics, religion and sport, as well as friendly entertainment. By World War II the sector was promoting its charitable and social endeavours. The challenge from television in the 1950s was met with improved news, live coverage and talkback.
