Description:
Radio Mirror (later known as Radio and Television Mirror) was a fan magazine for radio listeners and later TV viewers that includes profiles of the stars, visits to radio and television studios, and program listings. The early years in the 1930s show the interaction of motion pictures, recordings, the stage, radio and even politics. The role of radio in World War II is well covered in the 1940s, and by the 1950s the focus shifts to television and a new generation of personalities. -- David Pierce, 2013

'Heart? 'fiesta" JOAN LANSING It's September time, senoritas ... a real carnival of colorful "acts" that are most entertaining. You don't have to go far for this gay holiday spirit either . . . because it's actually right at your fingertips. Just tune your radio to your local ABC station and enjoy the vivid variety and fun that are YOURS all day. In the morning say "buenos dias" to DON McNEILL and the wonderful BREAKFAST CLUB gang at 9 AM (EDT). Everybody likes to march around the famous breakfast table con mucho gusto and get in the sparkling spirit of the day. McNEILL manages to do a little toreadoring and keeps activities moving in marvelous style. SAM COWLING, AUNT FANNY and the other BREAKFAST CLUB amigos make the BREAKFAST CLUB a gay meeting any day. (The sponsors who call proceedings to order on the BREAKFAST CLUB are Swift, Philco and General Mills.) You'll say "caramba!" when you hear MY TRUE STORY at 10 AM (EDT) on your local ABC station. This half-hour of real-life drama features complete stories every day. Sterling Drug sponsors this sterling stanza of dramatics that is firework bright! Another "fiesta" favorite on ABC is MODERN ROMANCES, a haunting program that appeals to modern minds and the young-in-heart. Norwich Pharmacal brings you this exciting program at 11 AM (EDT). There are plenty of quips and capers when JOHNNY OLSEN'S LUNCHEON CLUB is in session at 12 noon (EDT). Smart senoritas from coast-to-coast join JOHNNY's parties and have themselves quite a time! JOHNNY OLSEN'S LUNCHEON CLUB has Philip Morris Cigarettes on every table, in case you're wondering who picks up the LUNCHEON check. Round about 3 PM (EDT) JOHN NELSON comes along with the happiest half-hour of any day . . . BRIDE AND GROOM time for delighted, invited listenerguests. What better way to celebrate a day than attending a wedding . . . which is just what you do when you tune to BRIDE AND GROOM. When your dial is set to your local ABC station you know you can say adios to household drudgery . . . and settle down to some sparkling entertainment in gay, colorful company. Join the crowds who gather at ABC "fiesta" frolics ... on the air every weekday morning and afternoon for your listening pleasure.
