This table demonstrates just a few example of the wide variety of cultural and religious programes which were available on the radio in January 1939. The variety of programs available was quite amazing considering that radio had only really been around for ten years.

There are similar types of programs available on the radio and on the television now, however I am not sure whether there is a program devoted to etiquette!
