“You know, I invented the Radio”

~ Gene Simmons on radio

“You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.”

~ Albert Einstein presumably on radio

You may be looking for music radio, and not know that MP3 players are supposed to replace it.

Radio was first branded by Apple as Television shuffle but due a patent infringement later rebranded itself as Radio. It uses bits of electromagnetic radiation or radio waves to transmit stuff over long distances. This meant that Apple's first experiments to develop the radio caused a shitstorm of radiation, causing Steve Jobs to develop ball cancer.

Unlike waves that aren't like radio waves (such as tsunamis), radio waves require no transfer medium, and can even be sent over the vacuum of space. [1] It was originally used to help military ships communicate secret messages to shore bases using Morse code. It was seen as a great advantage because it was no longer necessary for ships’ communicate personnel to use the previous technology of shouting really really loud, which was often difficult with the noisy wurr of the vacuum of space getting in the way. When the military realized Morse code manuals were readily available on the internet, however, the plan was abandoned, but hundreds of other uses for radio have since been developed.

[edit] Uses

You can use the radio to make money. Radio is also used to spread right-wing propaganda about French maids and agriculture. It is also used to eat fudge, but not to pack fudge.[2]

A radio receiver can be used for self defense by hitting someone with it.

[edit] Users

Mickey Rooney invented radio in the late 1940s as a way to pass the time after Ava Garder came to her senses and stopped having sex with him.

Dick Clark exploited the radio in order to ensure he could be the first face seen on television every New Year's Eve. Ryan Seacrest attempted to kill Dick Clark in the Battle of Hastings, but realized his longbow was no use against Dick Clark's patriot missiles. A radio played an extended mix of the Chemical Brother's "Block Rockin' Beats" during the battle.

[edit] The future

XM Radio will allow Martians to receive top hits of the '80's on their Martian Rovers. Use of newly regulated subspace frequencies will allow us to contact the Delta Quadrant.

Sirius radio will allow dogs to understand what they listen to on the radio and take it seriously.

XM and Sirius are planning a merger. If this occurs satellite radio will be audible only to Martian dogs.

HD, or Highly Distorted radio is being implemented by Clear Channel stations around the US to legally jam their competitors. A large majority of audiophiles believe that HD Radio is the ultimate Lo-Fi medium because of its "bone chillingly cold and raspy sound" which further enhances the heavy metal listening experience.

[edit] Ownership

Buying a radio station is easy. All you need to do is cut a check for $770,000,002,043 made payable to the FCC and you're set.
