your radio which is called a receiver. The programs don't travel
through wires like telephone messages do. They are sent
through the air over long distances by electromagnetic waves.
These waves are called radio waves and were discovered by a
German scientist named Heinrich Hertz. He discovered that
these waves could carry sound signals. He also discovered that
radio waves have different lengths.
