How did radio tv and the movies contribute to the success of rock 'n' roll?

Answer 1

Radio, television, and movies were forms of mass media through which rock and roll music was capable of being spread to audiences of young people around the world. The speed which these mediums worked allowed that music and the trends it spawned to spread quickly, making it universally popular.

Answer 2

During the late fifties and early sixties, radio disk jockeys played a major role in promoting rock and roll to the masses.

There were rogue disk jockeys operating out of low budget radio stations who were anti-establishment and embraced rock and roll as a way to thumb their noses at the conservative elements of society.

The teenagers of that time embraced those radio outliers and the rock and roll music which they perceived as an anthem for change.

Answer 3

Rock became quite popular when Bill Haley and the comments released the song Rock around the clock. Then Elvis and The Beatles came along.
