The most important advantage radio offers is its ability to reach specific audiences through specialized programming. In addition, radio can be adapted for different parts of the country and can reach people at different times of the day. For example, radio is the ideal means of reaching people driving to and from work.

Known as drive time, these radio time slots provides the best audience for many advertisers. Pizza hut, for instance, reached out to its target audience of women making dinner choices by using radio during 4 to 5 pm time slot.

Radio offers advertisers flexibility. Of all media, radio has the shortest closing period. Copy can be submitted up to airtime. This flexibility allows advertisers to adjust to local market conditions, current news events, and even weather. For example, a local hardware store can quickly implement a snow shovel promotion the morning after a snowstorm. Radio's flexibility is also evident in its willingness to participate in promotional tie-ins such as store openings races, and so on.

Radio may be the least expensive of all media. And because airtime costs are low, extensive repetition is possible. In addition, the costs of producing a radio commercial can be low, particularly if local station announcers read the message. Radio's low cost and high reach of selected target groups make it an excellent supporting medium. In fact, the most appropriate role for most radio advertising in a supportive one.

Advantages:
1. Most interactive- the radio allows listeners to call in and talk to a radio personality immediately about a subject they are discussing. This makes the situation more interactive where a variety of listeners can interject their opinion and create a dialogue between the listening community.
2. Up to date and Accessible- radio is free and can be heard from a portable transmitter like a walkman, or in the car. This allows for the listener to receive up to date information as events are unfolding from virtually anywhere.

I'm not sure if you're implying to now or just in general, but what I know is that without the radio and radio waves, we wouldn't have such quick communication. The naval forces have one, all ships have one (ever since the titanic, each radio has two operators.) It's a universal medium and it's enjoyed by all. As stated in previous answers, it's great for business advertisement because of it's low cost and repetition. All in all, the radio has and probably always will be an important and helpful innovation. (haha, did you know that they discovered radio waves back in the early-mid 1800s? That's awesome.)
