The scope of the book is from 1920 until the late 70s when FM began to dominate. There will be a lot on the 50s, 60s and 70s local personalities, vs the 20s, 30s, 40s, because that hasn't been covered in other books on radio. Since I'm writing this book, I get to define "Golden Age", as far as this book is concerned. :)
