The Golden Age of Radio—the period of time during which radio broadcasting in the United States reached its widest audience—came to an end in the 1950s as radio was supplanted by television. World War II, which had caused widespread shortages of the technology used in television sets, ended in 1945. As a result of a greatly reduced cost of materials as well as a sudden influx of workers seeking employment after the war, television-manufacturing companies multiplied. Competition kept the price of television sets modest, compared to the relatively high income of many U.S. households during the post-war years; by the end of the decade, the number of households with a television had increased more than a hundredfold.

- Cause: A decrease in the cost of television-manufacturing materials:
- The text explicitly states that "As a result of a greatly reduced cost of materials...television-manufacturing companies multiplied." This directly links the reduced cost of materials to the growth of the television manufacturing industry.
- Effect: An increase in competition among television manufacturers:
- The text continues, "Competition kept the price of television sets modest..." This shows that the multiplication of television-manufacturing companies led directly to increased competition within the industry.
- The increased competition then led to lower prices, which then made television more accessible to the general public, which in turn contributed to the decline of radio.
