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

HOLLYWOOD: If you are a Southern Californian, you can tune in KECA's twice-weekly and KFI's once-weekly Headlines from Home program, and sit back while your home town news trickles through your loud speaker. News coverage for these programs is determined by the old home towns of Southern California's million outof-staters. If news from your home town is being omitted you only have to write KECA and KFI about it, and they'll be very happy to put some on the air as soon as they can. Des Moines, la.: Not only does it pay to advertise but it pays to know what you're advertising, as Qwen McCleary, women's radio director for the Iowa Broadcasting System, learned when a local women's shop decided to go on KSO with a stylist. The shop chose Qwen for the job because she had been purchasing all her clothes there and was best acquainted with the merchandise.
