Do you think radio is still important in the continued development of sitcom?

I think that radio is still important in the continued development of sitcoms today, however I believe that radio is not as important as it once was, this is because now I believe the majority of people use computers and watch television. I believe people use the radio to listen to music or the news. But not as many listen to comedy shows on the radio or other types of programmes.

Radio started off sitcoms and although there may still be some radio stations that play sitcoms they won't be anywhPere near as popular as television shows as you cannot visualise them. So overall I think that radio played an important part in sitcoms and still does, but no where near as much as it once did, because we have moved on in technology and there are more interesting and fun ways to have a laugh other than using the radio.

You make a couple fo interesting points. Remember to develop your ideas by referring to textual examples. Think about BBC7 - you need more understanding of this - very important!
