• Radio brought the news directly into listeners’ living rooms. Among the major news stories broken on radio: the Scopes monkey trial, carried live by Chicago station WGN in 1925; the Hindenburg zeppelin disaster, covered by WLS Chicago in 1937; and Edward R. Murrow’s CBS reports on the Blitz of Britain, airing in 1940.

Family Theater

Broadcast History: 13 February 1947 to 4 July 1956

Family Theater was a program created to promote family unity and each week saw a drama illustrating the importance of family life and prayer. The shows are not, however, as one might think, overtly religious and it is almost impossible to tell them apart from other dramas of the time. The main reason for the success of this series was undoubtedly due to the numerous Hollywood stars that participated.
