+ The thirtieth anniversary of the National Broadcasting Company took place in the mid 1950s. To honour the occasion a special program celebrating many "old time radio" broadcasts from the far back as 1927 was created. A look back at the early days of radio. This program highlighting the program stars, songs, and great moments in sports and special events from the 1927 on, included were true stars such as Sophie Tucker, Al Jolson, Red Skelton, Rudy Vallee, Connie Boswell, as well as Dinah Shore and Judy Garland's debuts. It also includes programs from Vic and Sade, Bergen and McCarthy, Lights Out, and more. In addition listeners were encouraged to write in and request old time radio shows. Some requested old children's programs, others requested such things as the earliest broadcast they could find in their sound library - which turned out to be the daily broadcast from June 11, 1927.
