Organ music in radio shows

The organ music used on so many radio shows is irritating to many people today. However, the principle behind it was no different than the common use of synthesizers similar situations today: it is cheaper to pay one person than several people. The difference is that synthesizer sounds can be varied to be more pleasing than can the organs of that day.

I think organ music played a very important role in the creating of a tense, suspensful moment. How would you know that the bad guy was approaching without organ music.
