When the “Purple People Eater” came roaring out of listener’s radios on July 7, 1958, radio in Kentucky, and for that matter across the nation, had changed forever.
Not that those changes should have been unexpected. Since early that decade radio had been faced with a life-threatening situation. The development of television combined with the decline in network radio put local stations into a crisis.
The end of World War II saw radio at its apex. Programming from network and local sources filled the airwaves, and local stations were springing up all across the landscape.
Radio Survives and Thrives is a new publication that describes the changes in radio between the end of world war two and the early 1970 as well as the emergence of television in the Commonwealth during those years.
