A little too focused on de Forest, but overall gives a decent picture of who did what when. Rating: - The Future is in the History It was an enlightening experience and one that Ken Burns meticulously wove together in an entertaining documentary.

The impact of radio stands unprecidented in the field of invention. Read More Rating: - Radio Finest Hours This is a must watch for all students of Radio Broadcsating. Great photography, ecellent insights into the race to be the dominate player in broadcasting. This story has got it all, greed, backstabing, egos, power. In fact the more the radio drama unfolds, its a wonder broadcasting even got off the ground. Top marks to Ken Burns for putting it all together. Highly Recomend. Brian. Rating: - Fascinating and compelling retelling of pivotal American history Ken Burns' documentary about the invention and growth of commercial, broadcast radio is first-rate, pitch perfect. As a portrait of American ingenuity and American cutthroat business, here is a key tale in the epic story of "how the future began." Television, cable TV, cellular radio,... all sprouted from this early 20th Century phenomenon. Worth showing to your kids. see more Browse for similar items by category: Documentary - Genres - DVD - Video - General Television - Genres - DVD - Video - General ( B ) - Directors - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - DVD - Video - Burns, Ken PBS - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - DVD - Video - All Paramount Home Entertainment - Studio Specials - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - DVD - Video - All Paramount
