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

Who'll pick up the tab for the exti-a cable expenses? What about the plane fares?" Jayne came running in from her dressing room. "What— what — what?" she cried. "Take the show where for a week?" Steve covered the mouthpiece with his hand. 'We're invited to go to Miami for a week, the whole outfit, and do Tonight from there." "Miami!" whispered Jayne, ecstatically. "Yes! The answer is yes!"
