Rating:  - Empire of the Air rules the waves!
this is a great video for broadcast history.A little too focused on de Forest, but overall gives a decent picture of who did what when.
Rating:  - The Future is in the History
It was an enlightening experience and one that Ken Burns meticulously wove together in an entertaining documentary.
It left me rather open mouthed at the tenacity of these inventors to make something out of literally nothing. They knew they were onto something big and this reflected well in their fierce ambitions, open jealousy, criticism and bitter litigation.
It wasn't fair then and it isn't now.
But it was admirable and almost impossible what these three, De Forest, Sarnoff ... Read More
Rating: - A Window To The World...The First Information Super Highway
In many ways I find Empire of the Air to be the finest documentry by the highly acclaimed film maker, Ken Burns. Certainly The Civil War is grander and more episodic. Jazz is perhaps more entertaining. And Baseball touches the very soul of America.But Empire of the Air demonstrates how far reaching radio changed the entire political, entertainment and economic landscape of America in the first half of the twentieith century. The impact of radio stands unprecidented in the field of invention.

This is a must watch for all students of Radio Broadcsating.
Great photography, ecellent insights into the race to be the dominate
player in broadcasting.
This story has got it all, greed, backstabing, egos, power.
In fact the more the radio drama unfolds, its a wonder broadcasting
even got off the ground.
Top marks to Ken Burns for putting it all together.
Highly Recomend.
Brian.
Rating: - Fascinating and compelling retelling of pivotal American history
Ken Burns' documentary about the invention and growth of commercial, broadcast radio is first-rate, pitch perfect. As a portrait of American ingenuity and American cutthroat business, here is a key tale in the epic story of "how the future began." Television, cable TV, cellular radio,... all sprouted from this early 20th Century phenomenon. Worth showing to your kids.
