     From Those Were The Days

    5/1

    1931   Singer Kate Smith began her long and illustrious radio career
    with CBS on this, her birthday. The 22 year old Smith started out with
    no sponsors and a paycheck of just $10 a week ($157 in 2015 dollars) for
    the nationally broadcast daily program. However, within 30 days, her
    salary increased to a more respectable $1,500 a week ($23,626 in 2015
    dollars).

    5/5

    1935   The program, Rhythm at Eight, made its debut. The star of the
    show was 24 year old Ethel Merman. Though Merman would become a legend
    years later, she didn't fare so well on radio. Her show was taken off
    the air after 13 weeks and Miss Merman returned to her first love, Broadway.

    5/6

    1937   A student of history, a broadcaster or anyone interested in news
    coverage, will remember this day and the words of NBC's Herbert
    Morrison. "Oh, the humanities!" Morrison's emotion filled historic
    broadcast of the explosion of the dirigible, Hindenburg at Lakehurst,
    NJ, became the first recorded coast to coast broadcast as it was carried
    on both the NBC Red and NBC Blue networks from New York City.
