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

"Report" is a new series of public interest broadcasts keyed to the nation's defense mobilization activities. Heard at 12:1? p.m. every Sunday, it features interviews with Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps person' alities who have just reported back to the Pentagon in Washington from their posts abroad. Another new program is "Dr. Scott, Family Counselor." Dr. Scott, a minister who has traveled all over the world, invites listeners to write him their troubles. Every Wednesday over WHB at 11:4? a.m., he tries to find a solution to family or personal problems. Homey and interesting! Dramatizations of true'to-hfe stories of adventure, romance and intrigue are heard in a new series, "Magazine Theater," over WHB at 7 p.m. every Friday. The stories, taken from the pages of MAGAZINE DIGEST, feature top-notch dramatic stars in radio'adapted tales making headline news. Al Heifer, Mutual's outstanding "sports voice," is the host and narrator for these broadcasts. The new "Fulton Lewis, Jr., at Home" series, featuring a thirty-voiced choral group, is heard at 12 noon Sundays. The program originates from the commentator's home town of Hollywood, Md., where he directs and plays the organ for the singing group. The new series spotlights a little known phase of the famous Washingtonian, the fact that he is an accomplished organist and choir director. Yes, spring has zing over WHB! The program schedule is a winning team, and like a winning team it has the crack of a clean base hit or the solid sound of a home run! And listeners are cheering!
