Radio is less popular than television, but still people listen to it in cars or at work. Radio is a rather old source of information. But it is very good and comfortable. Firstly, receiving sets are small and you can transfer them without any problems. Secondly, when you listen to the radio you cannot only get new information; for example, you can also listen to your lovely music, songs, or news.
