 Band Leaders - Baton - Big Band Publications 
  Big Band magazines from the 40's and 50's with many references to radio performances.  
This section contains "Band Leaders" as well as other magazines and publications covering the "big bands" and their leaders and artists. The longest lasting of these was "Band Leaders".
Band Leaders was began in or around 1942 and featured articles about the band leaders, naturally, as well as the band, singers and music of the era. In the first years, the magazine was quarterly. In 1944 and 1945, publication was bi-monthly. Starting in 1946 it was published every month.
Around August, 1946 it became "Band Leaders & Record Review"
We assume that "bi-monthly" in this case means "every other month".
