Monitor (NBC Radio)
''Monitor'' was an American weekend radio program broadcast live and nationwide on the NBC Radio Network from June 12, 1955, until January 26, 1975. It began originally on Saturday morning at 8am and continued through the weekend until 12 midnight on Sunday. After the first few months, the full weekend broadcast was shortened when the midnight-to-dawn hours were dropped since few NBC stations carried it.

The show was the brainchild of Sylvester (Pat) Weaver, whose career bridged classic radio and televi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
