NBC's First Fabulous Fifty - Single Episodes
NBC's THE FIRST FABULOUS FIFTY marks a significant moment in broadcasting history. Established on November 1, 1926, the National Broadcasting Company emerged when RCA acquired several radio stations and networks, merging them into a powerful new entity. This led to the creation of the NBC Red and NBC Blue networks, which would shape the landscape of American radio.
Radio has always been a medium that connects people, offering a unique blend of intimacy and immediacy. It has the power to engage emotions and foster a sense of community, making it a vital part of American culture throughout the 20th century. As we listen to these broadcasts, we can appreciate the enduring influence of radio and its ability to spark our imagination.

Thank goodness!

I'd recorded these programs each week when they were originally broadcast on WSB Radio in Atlanta. My quality was somewhat wanting, and I tried to scope out the commercials. Naturally missed some cues back into the continuity. Am glad these are here, so I can transfer them to CD and have the complete collection. Some of my episodes are missing.
Like the history and old style of singing

I grew up in the late 60's in Chicago and my Dad's favorite station on weekends was our local WMAQ NBC radio. It's a shame that corporate take overs have caused radio networks like NBC to die off. Hearing these sounds from the past like Monitor bring back good memories.
