WJSV Complete Day's Broadcast

Arrow News

par

WJSV’s complete broadcast day offers a continuous listen to the programming heard on the Washington, D.C., station on September 21, 1939. The collection includes “Arrow News,” placing a news segment within the broader flow of a day’s radio schedule.

Rather than focusing on a single program, this recording presents radio as listeners encountered it across the day: a sequence of broadcasts and transitions shaped by the station’s schedule. It provides a chance to hear the range of material carried by WJSV and the changing texture of its programming.

The appeal is in the sustained, period-specific listening experience: voices, announcements, and programs unfolding as part of an ordinary broadcast day in 1939. “Arrow News” is identified in the title as part of the collection.


This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
