“Louise M. Benjamin provides a detailed and closely-researched examination of an important influence on early U.S. radio that too many histories have overlooked in their focus on commercial imperatives.  An excellent corrective to scholarship in the field of broadcasting history.”—Michele Hilmes, author of NBC: America’s Network

 

 

 


"Anyone interested in RCA or NBC, or early network radio programming, or in understanding the network's role in communicating and maintaining mainstream ideas (and, conversely, censoring radical ideas) should read this book." - Susan L. Brinson, author The Red Scare, Politics, and the Federal Communications Commission, 1941-1930  


“Remember when commercial radio provided a wide menu of programs including public service?  Louise Benjamin reminds us where much of that tradition developed in her archive-based study of the prestigious NBC Advisory Committee.” —Christopher H. Sterling, author of Sounds of Change: FM Broadcasting in America
