This Old Hat Presents ‘A History in Radio Programming’
In a salute to CFRC’s 90 years, Howard Bonner presents a ‘History Of Radio Programming’.
The HISTORY is the early years 1921 - 1941 and is the history of Cincinnati’s WLW - The NATION’s STATION which was owned by the Crosley Family who at one point in time sold most of the radios in NORTH AMERICA.
Schedules and LIVE Band performances began here. The first Drama written specifically for radio was at WLW, Doris Day, Dinah Shore, FATS WALLER, the MILLS Brothers, Red Barber, the baseball announcer, commercials and oh so much more with excerpts from shows of the day.
It all begins Sat. Feb 4th at 11am and runs every Saturday at 1/2 hr. installments for 6 weeks in celebration of 90 years of the oldest continually broadcasting radio station in Canada.
