Adviser Department of Speech PREFACE Although commercial radio in this country was horn and managed to gather up a full head of develop­ mental steam in the 1920's, the mass radio medium did not reach full maturity until two decades later when American involvement in World War II pressured radio to achieve its "finest hour." Once limited to to situation comedies and soap operas, network radio offered the human drama of death, devestation, and despair to a nation at war in the 194-0's. Radio became a companion; a constant source of information and inspiration against which the print medium could not compete. This study presents a detailed investigation of . network radio's activities during the Second World War. The networks were each composed of a main sta­ tion in New York City and a varying number of local or affiliated stations around the country. As a limit­ ing factor, the contributions of such local stations, apart from their role as network disseminators, will not be discussed.

As a conflict of ideas and ideologies, the Cold War was unique not for its muddy battlefields and the stench of dead bodies so much as for the culture wars it inaugurated by broadcasting decadent Western music to Eastern Europe and by creating Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty as a surrogate national outlet for news and cultural programming for the Soviet Bloc.

    Research Collections with Cold War-era Radio Materials Research Collections with Cold War-era Radio Materials Compiled and edited by: Brandon Burke and Elisabeth Steinhaeuser © International Association of Sound and Audiovisual Archives (IASA), 2018 Translation not permitted without consent of IASA Executive Board 1 Research Collections with Cold War-era Radio Materials Research Collections with Cold War-era Radio Materials June 2018 (Version 1.0) 1. Introduction Research Collections with Cold War-era Radio Materials is a subject guide containing profiles of broadcasters and collecting institutions (national libraries, national archives, universities, historical societies) with materials documenting or otherwise pertaining to radio production during the Cold War. It is limited in scope to organizations whose materials are available, if restricted, and does not attempt to identify, describe, or otherwise account for collections and/or materials that are closed to the public. The institutions and broadcasters listed in this document supplied and/or approved the information in their profiles. 2. Why the Cold War? The Cold War marked a shift in the strategies and tools nations used to achieve tactical goals. While state-sponsored efforts in Germany, Japan, and Britain during WWII may have ushered in the weaponization of broadcast media, it was during the Cold War, a conflict of ideas and ideologies with no physical battleground to speak of, that information and its dissemination became the defining armaments of choice. Radio in particular lost its innocence entirely as networks from competing sides battled for airspace, reception, relevancy, and influence. A web of narratives and counter- narratives, even the most objective broadcasters could not help but participate in this profound cultural moment.
