“in 1929 radio took 2 cents out of the advertising dollar,” declared Mr. Haggerty. “Today it takes 35 cents out of every advertising dollar. This gain for radio was due to the diversion of advertising from newspapers, magazines and the printed page to radio.”


And the solution presented was to tax the radio stations. I guess the buggy whip manufactuers weren’t unionized.
