Radio Can Be as Big as the World' Mr. Keillor's two-hour radio show is broadcast live by Minnesota Public Radio and American Public Radio to more than 260 stations across the country Saturday nights from St. Paul, where he makes his home. Someday, reporters will be asking television performers if they have any ideas of going into radio. Now, we smile as we say that because everyone would regard going from television to radio as a demotion, as a comedown - but it is not. I think that I have something going on with the audience that people in television don't know about. TV is tiny.
TV is a little box.
It's a little piece of furniture. The picture limits television. Radio, depending on what's there, how you listen to it, how you feel about it, radio can fill up the entire room. It can be immense. Radio, as you sit and focus in on something that comes from it, isn't the size of the receiver.
