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.

Many powerful organizations have tried to have Jimmy Fidler taken off the air. One of his worst enemies is the Screen Actors Guild. The Hollywood Reporter has printed tirades against his broadcasts, and a producers' association has gone after him time and again. If it's news that can be proved, if it happened today, Jimmy brings it to the attention of the world. At the many dinners I've attended in the company of movie stars there has always been one sure topic of discussion — the broadcasts of Jimmy Fidler. I've never known a star who didn't have something to say. When the conversation turns to Jimmy, voices become lowered. There is hate, (Continued on page 80)
