I'm doing a compilation of favorite Christmas songs, and OTR show clips for
my Sons.

I was wondering if anyone could steer me towards any news broadcasts that
would have any Christmas related stories I could excerpt for the
compilation?

Thanks for any help.

Bill

1932   The National Broadcasting Company opened its new studios at Radio
City in New York City. They celebrated with a gala program at Radio City
Music Hall.

1938   Kate Smith sang God Bless America for the very first time. It
would later become her signature song. Irving Berlin penned the tune in
1917 but never released it until Miss Smith sang it for the first time
on her radio broadcast.

1940   The chant, "invovo legem magicarum," was heard for the first time
when Mandrake the Magician debuted on WOR in New York City.

11/14

1921   KYW radio, Chicago, IL broadcast the first opera by a
professional company. Listeners heard Samson Et Dalila as it was being
performed at the Chicago Auditorium.

 From Today in History at the NY Times -

1922, the British Broadcasting Corp. began its domestic radio service.

11/15

1926   Network radio was born. Twenty four stations carried the first
broadcast from the National Broadcasting Company. The program was a gala
four and a half hour broadcast from the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New
York City.
