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

Larry, who maintains an active correspondence with players, coaches and officials, has his thumb on every major event in sportsdom. During last year's baseball season, Larry shared choice Yankee-dugout morsels with his radio audience every evening, much to the chagrin of rival reporters. They finally learned that his information was coming directly from Casey Stengel, a close friend who writes Larry regularly. Larry is long on personality. His friendly, easy manner of speaking has made him hundreds of radio friends. In 1949, he made 308 speeches before luncheon groups, civic clubs, church organizations, and high school and college assemblies in the Kansas City area. The experience he received while playing professional basketball and semi-professional baseball and football colors Larry's daily sportscasts with individuality. And he is probably the only sports broadcaster to win letters in four major college sports while studying for his Ph.D. The Jenkins Music Company is sponsoring Larry Ray's coverage of the NAIB Tournament at 9:15 p.m. March 13-18, and of the NCAA tourney March 24-25. In addition, Larry will bring to WHB listeners a play-by-play account of each of the 154 games played by the Kansas City Blues this season. Here is the April schedule: At Home April 18, 19, 20, St. Paul. April 22, (23, 23), Minneapolis. Away April 25, 26, Minneapolis. April 27, 28, 29, St. Paul. April (30, 30), Milwaukee. Count on sports comments by Larry Ray at 4:55 and 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday on WHB. And don't miss his special on-the-scene sports broadcasts several times a week.
