Arrange the sentences into the correct order.

Put the sentences in the correct order:

  1. Despite this competition, radio never disappeared entirely, and it instead carved out a lasting role in cars and workplaces, where a purely audio medium still suits listeners who cannot watch a screen.
  2. That domestic popularity was shaken decades later when television offered the same convenience with moving pictures added, drawing audiences and advertising revenue away from radio almost overnight.
  3. These scheduled programs quickly made the radio set a fixture in ordinary homes, as families gathered around a single receiver for entertainment that had previously required a trip to a theater or concert hall.
  4. Once this technical hurdle was overcome, stations began broadcasting on fixed schedules, offering news bulletins and music programs that listeners could plan their evenings around.
  5. In the first decades of the twentieth century, engineers discovered that voice and music, not just Morse code, could be carried on radio waves, and they began sending experimental transmissions to anyone with a receiver nearby.
