The Roaring Twenties
The potential of radio as a mean of mass communication became evident after World War I, largely as a result of the innovation processes arising from the conflict and the subsequent industrial development. Out of the traumatic World War I, Europeans and North Americans plunged, in the 1920s, into euphoria and development that affected all sectors of society: architecture, cinema and music, dance, customs, literature, aviation, sport and of course radio, among many others.
In Portugal, the enthusiasm for broadcasting led to the proliferation of private broadcasters, some of which were very small and practically only broadcast recorded music and lectures. These small pioneer radios stations, which emerged and disappeared in the 1920s, made a decisive contribution to the broadcasters that settled and consolidated in the following decades, and as such, to the future of broadcasting in our country.
