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

PORTRAIT OF A HERO A pencil eased this child's bubbling patriotism. And in pride, he mailed us his drawing. He had just heard history dramatized by Columbia's School of the Air. "Gangway!"—move over ye football players — make room for another hero, living in a boy's mind! EVERY afternoon at two-thirty, from Monday through Friday, text-books and school-walls are pushed aside. To more than 6,000,000 American children, broadcasts of Columbia's School of the Air bring a release from blackboards to the wide horizons of the world. And their teachers each year exhaust an edition of 50,000 Manuals, prepared by Columbia to coordinate classroom instruction with the complete curriculum of the School of the Air: history, science, art, geography, literature, and current events. Now in its eighth year, this service stands alone in the development of American education through broadcasting: the only program of its scope on the air. C[ But not only youth is served. Day and night, Columbia microphones pick up the racing pulse of history for the nation. China's first lady -pleads . . . the Japanese ViceForeign Minister maintains . . . refugees describe I To the very echo of gun-fire, they bring the voice of the world into our homes, with a flexibility which often holds Columbia's schedule to an hour-to-hour, minute-to-minute basis. Millions, today, know the members of the Cabinet, the leading figures of the House and Senate, having heard their voices in exclusive Columbia series this year. Day by day, men of science, authors, educators, editors pass in a steady stream before the microphone. C[ Since History is many things, our programs are as varied as the world they portray. They reach to the far limits of the world. And bring them home— wherever home may be. THE COLUMBIA BROADCASTING SYSTEM
