Question

which of the following significantly influenced the creation, changes in musical style, and dissemination of music in the early 20th century? • a) independent record labels • b) the automobile industry • c) commercial radio • d) television

Explanation:

In the early 20th century, commercial radio became a widespread medium for broadcasting music. It allowed for the dissemination of various musical styles to a large audience, influenced musical creation (as artists catered to radio - friendly formats) and changed musical styles as different genres were exposed to broader audiences. Independent record labels were less dominant in influencing style and dissemination on a large scale early on, the automobile industry is unrelated to music creation/style/dissemination, and television was not a significant force in the early 20th century for music in this context.

Answer:

C) Commercial Radio
