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

N OTHING, in these modern days of broadcasting, is more fleeting than the average radio program. With its usual run of thirteen weeks, it has silentlj stolen away before you can get into the habit of tuning it in, and without a pause for breath, a new sponsor, hungry for a chance to advertise on the air, has snapped up the vacant time and filled it with new personalities. It is rare indeed that a program runs a full year without a break. When it reaches its one hundredth broadcast and is still gaining speed, it is time to pause a moment and salute that program. On November 22, the Feenamint National Amateur Night, first network amateur program, celebrated its one hundredth broadcast. In honor of that occasion, Radio Mirror presented Arnold Johnson, with a gold baton i recognition of his faithful services as the musical conductor which have made possible the program's continued success. by 16
