  • Network Time-Shift-Blog
    Michael Biel [email protected] Time Shifting by the Networks The following posts by Elizabeth McLeod, a broadcast journalist and a free-lance broadcast historian specializing in the late 1920s and early 1930s, are reproduced with her permission. Date: Sun, 29 Mar 98 22:23:55 -0500 From: Elizabeth McLeod ([email protected]) Subject: Re: By Means of Electrical Transcription... I'm confused about when the practice of pre-recording (transcribing) radio shows began. I recall reading that the Bing Crosby show was the first transcribed network show (and I seem to recall a Crosby show in which guest star Grade Alien says "this isn 't radio, it's a transcription "), but I also seem to recall that Amos and Andy were distributed on disk. My confusion was added to when I read the little book that comes with the first Smithsonian set of Superman episodes (great set, btw) since there is a reference to prerecording the shows, but I know that The Lone Ranger and such were sometimes performed more than once for different time zones. What's confusing you is the difference between network shows and syndicated shows. "Amos 'n' Andy," when it began in 1928 was distributed by syndication by the Chicago Daily News on 78rpm records -- the first radio program to be pre-recorded in such a manner. This continued thru mid-August of 1929, and ended when the program went to NEC. Many syndicated shows followed in the late 20s and early 30s, including comedies, dramas, serials, and musical features. These were shows produced by independent packagers and sold to stations without the need for wire-line connections.

  • GUNSMOKE TV CAST and DETAILS Premiered
    GUNSMOKE TV CAST AND DETAILS Premiered: September 10, 1955, on CBS Rating: TV-PG Premise: This landmark adult Western centered on Marshal Matt Dillon of Dodge City. John Wayne turned down the lead, suggesting James Arness (who remained for its entire run). Originating on radio (with William Conrad as Dillon), it moved to TV in September 1955. Its popularity spawned a number of copycats, but none would enjoy the longevity (and few the consistent quality) of this classic. Airing for 20 years, it's TV's longest running prime-time drama (a record that `Law & Order' is currently chasing).

    Pre-LP Recordings of RCA at 33 1/3 rpm. through 1931 to 1934 by Ted Fagan Once it had been proved that sound could be reproduced, the next steps entailed improvement of quality, expansion of versatility and increase in the amount of material that could be fitted on the discs or cylinders. Many experiments were made with different playing heads and needles, bigger discs and cylinders, narrower grooves and, finally, slower speeds. This is not the place to enter a study of the differences between the materials used for diaphragms on the playing heads, nor for the manufacture of needles, except for a passing mention of this later. Sizes of the records themselves went from 5 inches to 18 and groove widths varied from 150 per inch to 450. By 1930 the engineers had discovered that a recording speed of 33 1/3 revolutions per minute could be controlled, relied upon and to a large extent, avoided the distortion that usually spoiled the sound when the grooves get closer to the central spindle. In 1931, the company issued brochures and catalogues that announced the advent of a new technique which permitted recordings at this slower speed. One of these catalogues is quoted extensively in Oliver Read and Walter Welch's book From Tin-foil to Stereo (pp. 292 et seq). The crucial portion of the announcement reads: " ••• now the Long Playing Record takes its place in the Victor Catalogue. A policy of recording all major works on both standard and 33 1/3 rpm. records has been adopted. The playing time has been fixed at such length that no sacrifice of musical quality - inevitable if the grooves are carried too near the center of the record - need be made ••• " Commercially, however, the slower playing records were not a great success.
