Who remembers transcription disks? Radio shows were distributed to the
radio stations on large diameter 78 RPM records. That was the reason for
the "island" turntables in radio studios, to allow overhang of the large
disks. They eventually went to phone line networks. Early television was
distributed over the phone line. The T1 line was designed to carry one
television signal.

Not to mention - on radio - The Lone Ranger, Ma Perkins, Lets Pretend,
Jack Benny, Fred Allen, Fibber Mc gee and Molly, Edgar Bergan
(and Candice) and Charlie McCarthy, Tom mix, Lux Radio Theatre and The
Cinnamon Bear.
Many of those I know because they made a successful transition to early
TV or because their old B&W movies based on the radio characters were
staples at a movie theater I worked at after school when I was in junior
high.
Later, in the 80s, many of the old radio shows showed up on LP records
or cassette tapes.
... or from books at the public library. I guess I was maybe 10 - 11
when I first met Sherlock Holmes & Dr Watson, Nick and Nora Charles, The
Continental Op, Phillip Marlowe and Sam Spade. Who eventually led me to
Hercule Peroit, Miss Marple, Nero Wolfe & his man Archie.
I much prefer books to movies, because the cinematography is always so
much better.
