The Don Lee-Columbia System
THE DON LEE-COLUMBIA SYSTEM: By Mike Adams 111 Sutter Street was not the only network broadcast address during the thirties. The other was 1000 Van Ness Avenue, the Don Lee Cadillac Building, headquarters for KFRC and the Don Lee-Columbia Network. It was there that another radio legend was born. Don Lee was a prominent Los Angeles automobile dealer, who had owned all the Cadillac and LaSalle dealerships in the State of California for over 20 years. After making a substantial fortune in the auto business, he decided to try his hand at broadcasting.1 In 1926, he purchased KFRC in San Francisco from the City of Paris department store. The following year he bought KHJ in Los Angeles and connected the two stations by telephone line to establish the Don Lee Broadcasting System. From the beginning, Lee spared no expense to make these two stations among the finest in the nation, as a 1929 article from Broadcast Weekly attests: Both KHJ and KFRC have large complete staffs of artists, singers and entertainers, with each station having its own Don Lee Symphony Orchestra, dance band and organ, plus all of the musical instruments that can be used successful in broadcasting. It is no idle boast that either KHJ or KFRC could operate continuously without going outside their own staffs for talent, and yet give a variety with an appeal to every type of audience.[2] In 1929, CBS still had no affiliates west of the Rockies, and this was making it difficult for the network to compete with its larger rival, NBC. -

Glenn Miller 1939 the Year He Found the Sound
GLENN MILLER 1939 THE YEAR HE FOUND THE SOUND Dedicated to the Glenn Miller Birthpace Society June 2019 Prepared by: Dennis M. Spragg Glenn Miller Archives Alton Glenn Miller (1904-1944) From Glenn Miller Declassified © 2017 Dennis M. Spragg Sound Roots Glenn Miller was one of the foremost popular music celebrities of the twentieth century. The creative musician and successful businessman was remarkably intuitive and organized, but far from perfect. His instincts were uncanny, although like any human being, he made mistakes. His record sales, radio popularity, and box-office success at theaters and dance halls across the nation were unsurpassed. He had not come to fame and fortune without struggle and was often judgmental and stubborn. He had remarkable insight into public taste and was not afraid to take risks. To understand Miller is to appreciate his ideals and authenticity, essential characteristics of a prominent man who came from virtually nothing. He sincerely believed he owed something to the nation he loved and the fellow countrymen who bought his records. The third child of Lewis Elmer Miller and Mattie Lou Cavender, Alton Glen Miller was born March 1, 1904, at 601 South 16th Street in Clarinda, a small farming community tucked in the southwest corner of Iowa. Miller’s middle name changed to Glenn several years later in Nebraska. His father was an itinerant carpenter, and his mother taught school. His older brother, Elmer Deane, was a dentist. In 1906 Miller’s father took his family to the harsh sand hills of Tryon, Nebraska, near North Platte. The family moved to Hershey, Nebraska, in the fall of 1912 and returned to North Platte in July 1913, where Glenn’s younger siblings John Herbert and Emma Irene were born. -

Editor's Comments History Time Line Radio Experimental Television Feature Amateur Television ABC & the 50’s Obituary Parting Shots Subscriptions Editor's Comments Television programming on January 1st of nearly any year in remembered history is synonymous with the Tournament of Roses, be it the Rose Parade or the Rose Bowl. The genesis of these events goes back to when the Rose Bowl was first broadcast in 1923 and the Rose Parade in 1926, both on radio: from there on the timeline reads like the evolution of broadcasting – both commercial and amateur. It has been a lot of fun and very interesting gathering the information we’ll presenting in this special edition of the Tech-Notes. It is our opinion that if the technical aspects relating to the history of broadcastings involvement isn’t documented somewhere, it will be lost to future generations who may just ask: “How’d they do that?” In this spirit, we contacted the major networks and Los Angeles TV and Radio station, but didn’t really get very far with any of them. -
