Amos 'n' Andy |
"All About Amos 'n' Andy and their Creators" by
Correll & Gosden. This 1930 book about the very
popular NBC radio show is a book that should be
viewed in both the perspectives of radio as well as
social history. Such a show would never be "green
lighted" today yet it was highly rated 85 years ago.
The book is on the site as history can not be
rewritten but I ask that its reading be accompanied
by the necessary reflection. |

Torn & Missing Pages |
I get many emails compalining about frayed pages or
missing pages. Often the publications I get have
been in libraries where some pages eere torn out or
damaged. Others have had coupons cut or pictures
removed. Still others have become brittle with age
and are missing corners and edges. If I could
get perfect copies, I would. But I'd rather add what
I can get than wait for the unattinable. |

provider has released an alpha test version which we
are testing. It allows searches of over 1 million
pages of PDF files and many, many millions of unique

webmaster. Because the search looks through
millions of pages, it is slow... that is because we
don't have hundreds of thousands of blades in a
server farm like Google. But it works! (Again, this
is an early Alpha test and may have bugs) |

Burgess promoted their brands with logs. And we have
an example of a radio retail chain that issued its

apparently on New York City's famous Radio Row. Look
under "20's" in the log section. . |

Note |
What's wrong? |
I have added very little to the site in the last 10
days, and that which was added came from processing
older scans. About a week ago, while having solar
installed on the roof, one of the workers stepped on
an unreinforced area and came down into my office,
buckets of roofing tar and all. Fortunately, he was
not injured beyond some scratches and bruises. But
one of my scanners was severely damaged, and many
items waiting to be scanned were damaged or ruined.
The floor has to be resurficed, and I lost my comfy
chair. It is taking a while to repair it all, but we
have lots of neat new stuff to start adding soon
once the fixing is done. |

Passport to World Band Radio |
Sad news as the legal representative for this
publication has asked all content be removed from
this site. Despite a diligent search, I was unable
to contact Larry Magne, the author in the past. As
with many ceased publications, we decided to include
it on the site with the caveat expressed in our
"Site Information" section that we would
"cheerfully" remove it if requested. Unfortunately,
this title has been removed from nearly all public
and university libraries and is otherwise
unavailable for research, review and simple
entertainment. Hopefully, as the publisher seems to
wish to protect the content, we may expect them to
make it again available in some easily accessable
fashion. |

Radio Stars of Today |
In the Golden Age of Radio, there were quite a few
"annual" guides to the stars on the network shows.
Most were just pictures and a short bio. Today we've
added an exception volmue from 1937 called Radio
Stars of Today by Robert Eichberg. It even has
Foreword statements from Lennox Lohr, President of
the NBC (Red and Blue) and Wm. Paley, president of
the CBS. There are the customary bios and photos,
but there are some fascinating articles about the
big network stations including some great studio
shots and stunning transmitter scenes. There is a
generally good discussion of how radio works and how
it got to the listner. It's well written and makes
one of the best reads on the site. I recommend it
highly. |

Radio DX Verifications |
In the earliest days of radio, when stations were
few, many listened to stations hundreds or even a
thousand miles away. Distant listening was a part of
radio. And a hobby developed among those who tried
to hear the most far-away stations.
Those hobbyists reported their reception and
stations responded with verification letters and
cards. A collection of these, ranging from the 40's
to the 70's, is now in a new section which will
detail this pastime which was an integral part of
the development and history of radio. |

1956 Ratings
Report |
When did Top 40 start impacting the major US cities?
A slice of the story comes from the 1956 Hooper
radio ratings for Cleveland where Top 40 WERE got as
high as a 60 share in the evenings with DJs like
Bill Randle and Phil McLean. About 18 months later,
WHK would be sold by The Plain Dealer and become
Color Radio; KYW was already a pseudo-Top 40 aiming
at adults more than teens. Enjoy the whole story
with the picture in numbers in this ratings book
Thanks to Chris Huff for the report! |
