3/22

1948   The Voice of Firestone was one of the first commercial radio
programs to be carried simultaneously on both AM and FM radio stations.

3/23

1940   Truth or Consequences was first heard on radio. Ralph Edwards
produced and hosted the [removed] The show was originally heard on only
four CBS stations. Later, NBC picked up the show where it eventually
became the most popular of all radio quiz shows.

3/24

1932   Belle Baker hosted a radio variety show from a moving train ... a
first for radio broadcasting. The program originated from a Baltimore
and Ohio train that chugged its way around the New York area. The
broadcast was heard on WABC in New York City.

1935   After a year as a local show from New York City, Major Bowes'
Original Amateur Hour was heard on the entire NBC network. The show
stayed on the air for 17 years. Later, Ted Mack took over for Bowes and
made the move from radio to television.

3/25

1943   Jimmy Durante and Garry Moore premiered on network radio. The
pair replaced the popular Abbott and Costello following Lou Costello's
heart attack. Durante and Moore stayed on the air for four years.

3/27

1943   Blue Ribbon Town was first heard on CBS.

3/28

1941   Louella Parsons hosted Hollywood Premiere for the first time on
CBS. The gossip columnist introduced famous guests who appeared in
dramatized stories.

1944   WQXR in New York City, owned by The New York Times newspaper,
banned singing commercials from its airwaves as of this day.
Understandable, since the station has always been the classical music
voice of Manhattan and there aren't many classical singing commercials.

The "Adventures in Research" clip is not the same one I've heard many times.
I used one in teaching the history of radio for 25 years that was totally
different. I attempted to locate the one I am familiar with online, but
haven't so far. Does anyone else know of this one?
