I would be amiss if I didn't direct your attention to a fascinating article that's just appeared in the Albany "Times Union". An archivist, working with a tinkerer, has retreived twenty hours of radio programs broadcast over WGY in the 1929 to 1931 period. The broadcasts were recorded by an early sound-on-film process. The archives website is here, but there's no mention of the find that I can see. update, 6.19.2010 Mike Biel posted a couple of YouTube videos to the OTRR mailing list on the device used to play the recordings. You can view them here and here. He noted that the museum is looking for funding to improve or rebuild the device since the recordings have a great deal of wow and flutter, making the musical segments very difficult to listen to.
