  • Media Network Vintage Vault: an Index
    MEDIA NETWORK VINTAGE VAULT: AN INDEX An Index to Media Network online recordings posted through July 2016 Compiled by Jerry Berg, [email protected] This index to the recordings posted by Jonathan Marks on his Media Network Vintage Vault website has been prepared in order to make it easier to locate recordings on particular topics. Jonathan continues to post additional programs periodically, and this index covers all those that have been posted through the month and year shown above (new entries are in bold and asterisked). Jonathan has explained the background and structure of the Vintage Vault from time to time; see MN1209-01, MN1401-02, MN1505-11, and (the latest) MN1512-01. There are hundreds of programs in the Vintage Vault. Each program has a written summary description prepared by Jonathan. These can be found in monthly groupings shown on the right-hand side of the Vintage Vault website pages. The months and years shown there are the months and years when Jonathan posted that group of recordings and summaries. (Most of the summaries also show the program’s original broadcast date.) The entries in this index are based on the summaries. In some cases Jonathan’s summaries are detailed, in others they are more general, and the index reflects this. In a few cases I have gone back to the recordings to clarify an item, but in general I have relied on Jonathan’s summaries. It is important to note that even the most detailed of the summaries do not describe the full content of a given program.

  • KDKA SW Notes
    However, in 1931, both KDKA & 8XK were moved again, this time to another new facility at Saxonburg, another suburban location within Pittsburgh. Here it was that the callsign was regularized in 1939 to the four letter callsign, WPIT. By this time, four shortwave transmitters were in use for the broadcast of the Westinghouse radio programming. Right towards the end of the year 1939, the final split came between mediumwave KDKA & shortwave WPIT, with the transfer of KDKA to another new location again, this time Allison Park in Pennsylvania, and the transfer of WPIT to Hull in Massachusetts. Production staff and studios for the shortwave service were re-located some months later to the home of another Westinghouse mediumwave station, WBZ in Boston. However, during the following year, the other Westinghouse shortwave station, WBOS was transferred from Millis near Boston, to Hull, which is located right at the end of a narrow peninsula opposite Boston. Here it was that the equipment of both stations was integrated and the WPIT callsign was dropped, with the usage now of only the one call, WBOS. For a period of twelve years, station WBOS in Hull carried VOA programming to Europe & Africa. When this term of service was over, the equipment was sold and transferred to shortwave station WRUL which was located further down the coast at Hatherley Beach, near the town of Scituate (SIT-you-ate). There was a disastrous fire at station WRUL in 1967 in which all of the World War 2 equipment was destroyed. This then would mark the final end of the historic shortwave station, 8XK-WPIT, after nearly half a century of international radio coverage.
