Radio programming is the content that is broadcast by radio stations. In the early radio age, content typically included a balance of comedy, drama, news, music and sports reporting. U.S. radio programs included the most famous Hollywood talent of the day. Radio soap operas began in the U.S. in 1930 with Painted Dreams. Despite radio's majority use being spoken entertainment, the Grand Ole Opry, as of 2006 being the longest-running radio program, has been focused on broadcasting country music since it began in 1925.
