Has anyone read The Big Broadcast?

Posted on January 27, 2012

I found this great book on the history of radio shows at a local book giveaway in Baltimore and it is great!

I found this great book on the history of radio shows at a local book giveaway in Baltimore and it is great!

It’s by Frank Buxton and Bill Owen, and it has listings of shows, what the announcers would say…it is comprehensive, and discusses various things used in the industry over the years 1920-1950.

It talks about how big band “remotes” were broadcast and how announcers would be used to warm up the audience to get applause to go on the air, since back then they couldn’t pull up an mp3 of clapping or laughter, it had to be live.

Having a great time browsing through it. It’s just amazing to follow how radio has developed.
