Theosophical University gave a weekly series of programs which were broadcast by remote control over KFSD, from April, 1925, to December, 1928. These programs were devoted to classical music chiefly, and were rendered by an orchestra of about 50 members, a chorus of about 60 mixed voices, various chamber music ensembles, and a children's chorus; various solo players and singers being drawn on occasion from these different groups." -- Charles M.
