He made the first radio but Guglielmo Marconi was initially credited, and most believe him to be the inventor of radio to this day. However, the Supreme Court overturned Marconi's patent in 1943, when it was proven that Tesla invented the radio years previous to Marconi. Radio signals are just another frequency that needs a transmitter and receiver, which Tesla also demonstrated in 1893 during a presentation before The National Electric Light Association. In 1897 Tesla applied for two patents US 645576, and US 649621. In 1904, however, The U.S. Patent Office reversed its decision, awarding Marconi a patent for the invention of radio, possibly influenced by Marconi's financial backers in the States, who included Thomas Edison and Andrew Carnegie. This also allowed the U.S. government (among others) to avoid having to pay the royalties that were being claimed by Tesla.

What would happen if the radio wasn't invented?

This is like asking what would have happened if the Hindenburg had not blown up "Would we still have airplanes?", at best we can only speculate of what would have been different (several Sci-Fi books are written on this subject). In the case of "radio" you have to look at 'how' it was invented. In all reality "Radio" was the next natural step in discovery at the time. Radio itself while an innovation, was not a real discovery, the discovery was ground work laid by others (A/C frequency oscillation) before its invention and it was a natural step in that progress. With this in mind it is conceivable that not much would have changed if you took radio out of the picture and Television may have just as naturally followed without radio ever existing.
