Radio At War (Ca 1940's)

Radio at War Vintage 1940's World War II Film

Radio isn't dead, in fact it is growing in popularity again with many young people getting into the hobby. I won't say who I am but I will say I am a licensed amateur radio operator here in Australia. The HF bands are very busy still. also VHF and UHF are doing well, many are now using DMR (a mix of internet and radio) but we are still alive and kicking. Even the CB bands have made a come back with 35 lower sideband (27.355mhz ) very active at times.

I miss the days of radio, as a kid in the early 1970's the SW & Ham Bands were great.

[@fromthesidelines]

...and there were only three stations on the air in the New York area in 1944: WNBT {now WNBC}, WCBW {WCBS}, and WABD {WNYW}, seen by only a few hundred sets in the Metropolitan area [those that were working, anyway].

This is Great. As someone who father grew up around this time, I used to listen to the old time radio shows that my father grew up listening to. I enjoyed this and it’s fun to watch.

William J. Ganz produced several "industrial films" for RCA during the '40s and '50s (including "The Story of Television" in 1956). You can bet this was also seen on their New York TV station, WNBT, at the time [1944]...yes, there WERE television broadcasts back then, but restricted to about four hours a week because of the war, and usually limited to war-related programs {including civil defense instruction}, with occasional live entertainment and assorted short films....
