Description:
Founded in 1937 by Jack Alicoate, who also published the New York-based FILM DAILY. Alicoate essentially took the same model he had used for film and applied it to the growing medium of broadcasting: publish a daily trade paper with headlines and short news stories and then an end-of-the-year annual with industry data and loads of advertisements. Today, v=broadcasting historians will find a great deal of policy, industry, station, and programming information inside RADIO DAILY and the RADIO ANNUAL. -- Eric Hoyt, 2015

"SLEEPER" A few minutes spent reading about the "Deems Taylor Concert" will not be wasting your time, I assure you. It's the smartest, most distinctive musical program on the air today . . . five half-hours per week of the choicest recorded classical and semi-classical masterpieces, interspersed with the witty, civilized commentary of Deems Taylor, the dean of American music. WHY IS THIS A GOOD VEHICLE FOR YOUR STATION? Because it's the best program in this field; because it's a welcome contrast to your other types of programming; because it's one of the few shows that can buck severe competition; because it will also adequately fill in that half-hour strip that's in "fringe" time; because it will get you that unusual type of sponsor that you generally cannot sell. WHAT DOES THE PROGRAM CONSIST OF? Five half-hours a week of the best recorded music in the classical and semi-classical field — plus the transcribed commentary of Deems Taylor. We furnish everything — all the records plus the transcriptions in one neat package. WHAT DOES THE Deems Taylor Concert COST? So little, that you'll be pleasantly surprised.
