Even though it may be smartphones, people's passion for radio has not diminished even today. Millions of people, including cab drivers, students, corporate professionals, still listen to the radio. Though it was rumoured a few years ago that the radio would be completely exhausted after the smartphone came in, it was not because of the smartphones that more people are connected to the radio.

Radio has also been given a new direction by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He calls the radio a 'Man Ki Baat' that millions of people use radio to listen to. This is how the PM has brought the radio back to people's homes. The same first time advertising in radio began in 1923. This was followed by the launch of official radio stations like the BBC in the UK and CBS and NBC in the US. In November 1941, Subhas Chandra Bose addressed Indians from Germany on the radio.
