Next on the blog this week, a rare example of an early attempt at “on the spot” news.
The “20th Century International Radio Newsreel” was a syndicated program. Only one example is listed in Goldin’s database, an audition with a sales messages for radio stations.
The program of February 24, 1939 has reporter Michael Blair interviewing arriving passengers and celebrities from the Panama-Pacific Lines SS Washington at San Pedro harbor.
Our program was transferred from a single-sided 16” Presto lacquer transcription. It appears to be a previously lost show.
