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

RADIO'S MAN of the HOUR A S THIS issue of Radio Mirror goes to press the ZA threat of war which hung over the world in • 'September seems to be lifting. Perhaps, by the time you read this, peace will be assured. But you still will not have forgotten the anxious days when your radio was the swift messenger bringing you news of vital world events. All networks performed a magnificent service during the European crisis, but among all the broadcasts, the work of Columbia's H. V. Kaltenborn was outstanding. A pioneer commentator on news events, Kaltenborn brought to his work an exhaustive knowledge of European conditions, a logic and clarity that made his words a delight to listen to, and an energy that kept him living in a New York CBS studio day and night for three weeks. Above you see him at the mike, reading his own shorthand notes on trans-Atlantic broadcasts, snatching a few hours' sleep on the couch in the studio — all in order that he might bring you not only the latest news, but its keen interpretation.
