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

Weigel began his radio career in Ohio, while still attending high school. He met his wife, Virginia, also an entertainment personality, while attending Ohio State University. He interrupted his career to join the Army Signal Corps during World War II. He was assigned to the University of Minnesota for a special training course. His roommate at school was William Oatis, the A.P. newsman interned by the Communists in Czechoslovakia. Following his discharge from the armed forces, Weigel settled on a farm in Libertyville, 111., and became a popular figure in Chicago radio circles. Extensive research by Weigel, whose patter is also in the vernacular of the roaring 'SO's, permits him to tell unusual anecdotal stories about each melody aired on the ALLSWEET MUSIC BOX. g 3 00 IS 30 43 Spent A. m.
