thank you for your historical insight of CBS radio (The tiffany network) Though I wasn't around for the golden days of radio, I have read historical accounts of it. Most old radio shows on satellite radio focuse on sit-coms and variety shows. Radio was more than that. Like the FDR fireside chants and those intrepid news reporters who went to the burning pits of hell to get a news story. My dad use to talk about radio during the depression. Here is a story I found this morning.
