what happend to radio shows? not liek talk shows but the ones that were radio plays?

SO to clairfy. im asking what happend to the radio shows that were essentially plays on the radio. War of the worlds was orginally a radio show. I like that sort of thing cuase it stimulates my imagination to think about what everything looks like. plus i can enjoy it more cuase even though its fleshed out written. i can see what i want to see. :)

@Mysti technically, yes.

Television did in fact happen to them, but, in the early days of television, (circa late 1940's/early 1950's) more people still had radios, than they did, television sets, and many of the radio shows of the 1930's and 1940's, did carry over into the early-to-mid 1950's, and then as the years went on, television was more mainstream and radio shows, gradually became obsolete.
