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

Commander Mortimer Loewi, executive assistant to Dr. Dumont, said when making the announcement: "It is ridiculous for television broadcasters to ignore the women in the home who want news, information and entertainment, and to deprive them of the opportunity to use their television sets during the day." .The daytime operation is primarily instruction — programs dedicated to sewing, cooking, shopping and baby tending. Of course, big sports events are still carried. Although they realize at Dtimont that no woman can sit and watch her video set all day, when she does have some leisure, there is always something worthwhile for her to see. The programs are worked out in a way that makes them interesting to listen to without seeing the screen; the housewife can be off doing some chore and still be able to follow the programs {Continued on -page 85) Funny man Joe E.
