1933: Radio performers are embarked on two decades in which they become an intimate part of American family life. Don McNeill's Breakfast Club is still going strong, as is Bing Crosby (shown ivith frequent guests, the Andretvs Sisters). All-time radio greats included Bob Burns, Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy. Rudy I alee and Joe Penner (ivith that duck). And great artists tike Arturo Toscanini became available ivith the flick of a dial. 1937: This on-the-spot reporting of the Ohio and Mississippi Valley floods is an example of radio's development as a primary news medium. Network mobile units such as the one below, and IVOR Newark's remote pickups, proved radio's claim as a major news source during the Lindbergh baby kidnapping in 19S2. By 1937 — the year of Marconi's death — there were 26 million radio homes and 37 million sets.
