Not part 15, but two short vintage films about radio I just have to mention, and both entertaining to watch…

This first one is a 3 minute circa 1940’s newsreel about beginings of the NBC radio network.. the whole thing is great, but what I really found so stark was during the last 60 seconds or so with the illustrations and description of “web” covering the states..

But this next one is the one which really fascinated me..

It’s a early 1950’s ARMY presentation called “Independent Radio Station”. The  beginning had me wondering watching it’s introductiory start, then it went into introducing every aspect of what an independent station entails.. This one is 18 minutes long, and I found it to be very cool!
