When the TV was created in 1927, it would then go on to effect all sorts of other types of medias as well as popular culture.
Radio
As TV became more popular it took radio's audience but the major effect was that TV took radio's talent. During that time, there were serials or stories on the radio and when the world was transitioning to TV, radio talent decided that their careers could be more successful on TV. Not to mention, I'm sure the talent was offered more money than what they were making on the radio as well.
Movies
Movies weren't as greatly effected as other types of media but they still felt TV's wrath. TV gave you the same thing movie theaters did, but in your own home. But of course people still went to the movies for other reasons like the atmosphere or the social aspect.
Newspaper
TV basically turned into a quicker newspaper. The news could be reported on more quickly and broadcasted with extreme efficiency. Of course this took some of the viewers but the main blow was that TV took newspaper's advertisers. With TV becoming so popular, advertisers could pay less or the same amount of money to reach a larger audience so it seemed obvious to advertise on TV versus newspapers.
