Description:
The official magazine of Kansas City's WHB radio station, SWING printed far more than the station's schedule (which, as the title SWING suggested, relied heavily on music). From 1945 to 1953, SWING offered readers something eclectic every month -- profiles of entertainers on one page, discussions of citizenship in the postwar world on the next, with write-ups of nightlife offerings in KC, Chicago, and New York mixed in. WHB spent decades lobbying the FCC for clear channel status; the magazine's ambitious scope may have been part of the station's attempt to legitimate itself. But it was SWING'S first editor, Jetta Carleton, who later wrote a celebrated novel, that gave the magazine its distinctive style. -- Eric Hoyt, 2015

There's wrestling (now reported chiefly on the drama pages), what little boxing has been left by the draft boards, and roller skating — chiefly enjoyed by sailors from Navy pier and the bobbysoxcd devotees of The Voice and Van Johnson. There's ice hockey at the stadium. — Meaning the Blackhawks, a team which may or may not be inhabiting the league cellar by the time you read this. However, no matter what their current standing may be, there are always action and enthusiasm at the stadium. Chicago is a great hockey town well into April, and last year the Hawks both rewarded and amazed their followers and themselves by sailing into the Stanley Cup finals. The Blackhawks specialize in maiming each other and the visiting team (somewhat controlled by the referee, of course), while the spectators are kept somewhat in hand by Andy Frain's boys in blue and gold. The same bright young men whom you will find at late winter wedding receptions on the Gold Coast (guarding the silver) also keep things orderly at the stadium. Mr. Frain himself, the eminent crowd engineer, declares that hockey crowds arc docile compared with those drummed up
