Although sitcoms started on radio and were very popular in the 1950's, i now think they are not as important due to the increased popularity of television and computers. I think people listen to the radio to hear music not listen to shows. However BBC7 is a radio station that still has programs to listen to, it features many comedies, dramas, crime, thrillers and children's programs. BBC7 also still plays old classics such as the goons and hancocks half hour, even though some people still listen to sitcoms on radio i feel they are not as real because you can't visualise them. Radio has played an important part in the past as its started many popular sitcoms that are now on television, but now people would rather watch the television or be on the Internet rather than listen to the radio.
So overall i think radio should be thanked for starting sitcoms but its really not important and doesn't fit in with peoples lives today.

More information about BB7 is required to show a in depth understanding of the question. However a general awareness of readio comedy is demonstrated. Better late than never.
