     From Those Were The Days

    6/30

    1921   Documents were signed forming the Radio Corporation of America,
    better known as RCA. RCA soon rivaled its main competitor, General
    Electric (GE).

    7/1

    1934   The Federal Communications Commission, as mandated in the
    Communications Act of 1934, replaced the Federal Radio Commission as the
    regulator of broadcasting in the United States.

    7/2

    1939   The Aldrich Family debuted on NBC.

    1946   CBS signed Arthur Godfrey to do a weekly nighttime show.

    1951   NBC presented Bob and Ray (Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding) on a
    network show.

    7/3

    1939   Chic Young's comic strip character, Blondie was first heard on CBS.

    1940   The legendary comedy team of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello debuted
    with their network show on NBC.

    1945    NBC gave the comedian/pianist Victor Borge his own the summer
    replacement show for Fibber McGee and Molly.  He had been heard a few
    years earlier as a semi regular on NBC's "Kraft Music Hall" with Bing
    Crosby.

    7/4

    1943   The Rhythm Boys, Bing Crosby, Al Rinker and Harry Barris, were
    reunited for the first time since the 1930s on Paul Whiteman Presents on
    NBC.

    1951   Jack Webb, along with Dragnet, also did a summer show    that of
    Pete Kelly. Pete Kelly's Blues, a crime drama, was the summer
    replacement on NBC for Halls of Ivy (with Ronald Colman and Benita Hume).

    7/5

    1943   The Adventures of Nero Wolfe debuted on the NBC Blue network.
    Nero Wolfe was "the detective genius who rates the knife and fork the
    greatest tools ever invented by man." The 'gargantuan gourmet' continued
    on the air until 1951.

    1948   My Favorite Husband, with Lucille Ball, became the gifted
    redhead's first regular radio program on CBS.  Richard Denning co
    starred with Lucy as "two people who live together and like it."  (Which
    today has a different [removed] -ed)

    1951   The Silver Eagle debuted on ABC as a entry into radio's action
    adventure lineup. Jim Ameche starred as Jim West.

    7/6

    1943   Judy Canova, the 'Queen of the Hillbillies', began a weekly
    comedy show on CBS.

    1947   A hidden microphone eavesdropped on unsuspecting people for the
    first time this night, as Candid Microphone hit the ABC airwaves.

    Subject:  Sources of radio shows

    There are about seventeen possible radio programs where the material I am
    looking for might be found, but I have narrowed it to three because of the
    dates involved and the known performances. These are: 1. The Van Heusen Show,
    2. Maxwell House Showboat, Captain Henry's Showboat, Captain Henry's Maxwell
    House Showboat, 3. Camel Caravan

    I would greatly appreciate any information as to what sources might be most
    likely to have these shows.

    We have sad news to report.  Bill Bragg the owner and founder of Yesterday
    USA died on Friday.  Bill wife Kim is planning to keep Yesterday USA on the
    air.
