Question: What industry began in 1890 and rapidly evolved into the largest in the world, and has WDET-FM as the primary provider of its news?
Context: Grande Communications is a United States telecommunications firm, based in San Marcos, Texas, that uses a fiber optic and cable network to offer broadband services.  The company was established in 1999 when it was the recipient of the largest round of venture capital funding in Texas.  Grande delivers internet access, local and long-distance telephone service and digital cable over its own network to nine different markets in Texas.  Grande Communications serves as the primary provider of cable services for dormitories on the campuses of Texas State University-San Marcos, University of the Incarnate Word, Baylor University and the University of Texas at Austin.  It is controlled by private equity firm TPG Capital through its affiliate Patriot Media Consulting.  Grande Communications is available to an estimated 1.1 million people, making it the 16th largest provider of cable broadband in the U.S. by coverage area. ECON (not to be confused with companies in other countries with the same name) was a Greek conglomerate, named after its founder Christos Economides.  It was founded in 1950 as an engineering company but it progressively diversified in other areas including defence equipment, focusing during the 1980s on electronics and electro-optical system development and production.  By 1995 it had rapidly evolved into a major defence group with four factories involved in high-tech constructions, including mechanical engineering, optics, electronics, digital imaging equipment, explosives etc.  However, this growth was followed by an equally rapid collapse only a few years later, leading to one more dark page in the history of Greek defence industry.  Parts of the company were reorganized into "Thalis sensors" (later "Theon sensors"). Siouxsie and the Banshees were an English rock band, formed in London in 1976 by vocalist Siouxsie Sioux and bass guitarist Steven Severin.  Initially associated with the English punk rock scene, the band rapidly evolved to create "a form of post-punk discord full of daring rhythmic and sonic experimentation".  In 1978, they released their critically acclaimed debut album, "The Scream", and built their reputation over the next few years through subsequent releases.  With "Juju" in 1981, the group also became an important influence on the emerging gothic rock scene.  They disbanded in 1996, with Siouxsie and drummer Budgie continuing to record music as the Creatures, a second band they had formed in the early 1980s.  In 2004, Siouxsie began a solo career. The Halifax VE-Day riots, 7–8 May 1945 in Halifax and Dartmouth, Nova Scotia began as a celebration of the World War II Victory in Europe.  This rapidly evolved into a rampage by several thousand servicemen, merchant seamen and civilians, who looted the City of Halifax.  Although a subsequent Royal Commission chaired by Justice Roy Kellock blamed lax naval authority and specifically Rear-Admiral Leonard W. Murray, it is generally accepted that the underlying causes were a combination of bureaucratic confusion, insufficient policing, and antipathy between the military and civilians, fueled by the presence of 25,000 servicemen who had strained Halifax wartime resources to the limit.

The Lehigh Valley Silk Mills refers to a collection of mills located in the Lehigh Valley.  The industry began in 1881 and thrived throughout the Industrial Revolution.  The Lehigh Valley Silk Mills also refers to a specific company that owned the Lipps & Sutton Silk Mill and Warren Mill.  The first silk mill in the Lehigh Valley opened in 1881 followed by many others.  By 1900, there were twenty-three silk establishments in the Lehigh Valley, making Pennsylvania the second largest producer of silk in the world.  The silk industry in Pennsylvania peaked in the late 1920s due to cheap labor, mainly from immigrant workers' children and wives.  However, after the Great Depression, increasing labor unrest and competition from other textile industries began to affect the silk industry locally and nationally.  By 1953, Allentown had become the number one silk city in the world, but even then, the number of looms had decreased.  At the time, only six mills continued to work with silk exclusively.  Other mills either shut down due to bankruptcy or shifted to the production synthetic fibers. The Norwalk Transit District is the primary provider of public transportation services in Norwalk, Connecticut and surrounding communities.  The local Norwalk fixed-route bus transit system, known as WHEELS, is the primary service of the district linking Norwalk and its immediate suburbs.  The agency also operates regional bus services as far north as Danbury (with HARTransit) and as far east as Bridgeport (with GBT) and commuter shuttles to Metro-North stations.  Paratransit door-to-door services are available for residents in the service area unable to use regular transit services.  Norwalk Transit contracts with local transportation service providers to perform some of the door-to-door services, and is also the provider of public transit for the Westport Transit District. . The University of Minnesota's Campus Shuttle is a zero-fare bus service operating on the university's Minneapolis and St. Paul (Falcon Heights) campuses.  In 2009, the system carried more than 3.9 million riders, making it the second-busiest transit system in Minnesota after the Twin Cities' primary provider, Metro Transit.  It outpaces all of the suburban transit providers in the Twin Cities, as well as those of outlying metropolitan areas in the state.  Duluth Transit Authority serving Duluth, Minnesota and Superior, Wisconsin is the state's third-busiest provider, while the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority ranks fourth.  The shuttles are operated under contract by First Transit through the university's Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) department. The automotive industry in the United States began in the 1890s and, as a result of the size of the domestic market and the use of mass-production, rapidly evolved into the largest in the world.  However, the United States was overtaken as the largest automobile producer by Japan in the 1980s, and subsequently by China in 2008.  The U.S. is currently second among the largest manufacturer in the world by volume, with approximately 8-10 million manufactured annually.  Notable exceptions were 5.7 million automobiles manufactured in 2009 (due to crisis), and peak production levels of 13-15 million units during the 1970s and early 2000s. The Cinema of Pakistan or Pakistani cinema (Urdu: ‎ ) refers to the filmmaking industry in Pakistan.  Pakistan is home to several film studios centres, primarily located in its two largest cities - Karachi and Lahore.  Pakistani cinema has played an important part in Pakistani culture, and in recent years has begun flourishing again after years of decline, delivering entertainment to audiences in Pakistan and expatriates abroad.  Several film industries are based in Pakistan, which tend to be regional and niche in nature.  Over 10,000 Urdu feature-films have been produced in Pakistan since 1948, as well as over 8000 Punjabi, 6000 Pashto and 2000 Sindhi feature-length films.  The first film ever produced was "Husn Ka Daku" in 1930, directed by Abdur Rashid Kardar in Lahore.  The first Pakistani-film produced was "Teri Yaad", directed by Daud Chand in 1948.  Between 1947 and 2007, Pakistani cinema was based in Lahore, home to the nation's largest film industry (nicknamed Lollywood).  Pakistani films during this period attracted large audiences and had a strong cult following, was part of the cultural mainstream, widely available and imitated by the masses.  During the early 1970s, Pakistan was the world's fourth largest producer of feature films.  However, between 1977 and 2007, the film industry of Pakistan went into decline due to Islamization, strengthening of censorship laws and an overall lack of quality.  Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the film industry went through several periods of ups and downs, a reflection of its dependency on state funding and incentives.  By 2000, the film industry in Lahore had collapsed and saw a gradual shift of Pakistani actors, actresses, producers and filmmakers from Lahore to Karachi.  By 2007, the wounds of Pakistan's collapsed film industry began to heal and Karachi had cemented itself as the centre of Pakistani cinema.  Quality and new technology led to an explosion of alternative form of Pakistani cinema.  The shift has been seen by many as the leading cause for the "resurgence of Pakistani cinema".  Despite the industry crisis starting in the mid-1980s, Pakistani films have retained much of its distinctive identity.  Since the shift to Karachi, Pakistani films have once again began attracting a strong cult following.
