It wasn’t until a few months after tesla’s death (1943) that the supreme court settled that Nikola Tesla did in fact create the radio first using his own patents. The 1930’s introduced us to car radio’s, and from there the radio spread to all corners of the earth. Nowadays we have Television and the internet which have pushed the radio out of the spotlight, because it doesn’t offer as much content as the internet
