Description: "Difficult as it is for some to imagine what people relied on for home entertainment in the evening before television - it was that equally big medium, radio. Its programs were the precursors to the popular television sitcoms and dramas of today.".

"This work provides two main kinds of information: month-by-month prime time (7pm to 11pm) schedules from January 1929 through July 1961, for all national broadcasting networks, and a detailed listing of all network programming moves (from July 1926 until August 1967), including series premieres, cancellations, and time slot moves, plus a yearly recap of key programming moves. Only regularly scheduled series are included. Single event or special programming is not included.

The book is divided into seven chapters, one for each night of the week; each chapter consists of individual month-by-month prime time schedules for each network followed by a detailed chronological listing of each of that network's series and programming moves."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: Includes index.
