Radio Wars - How Hollywood Got Its Voice - Members Video

In the 1930s and ’40s, Hollywood’s airwaves were a battlefield. NBC, CBS, and Mutual fought for stars, sponsors, and bragging rights, each building lavish studios and broadcasting coast-to-coast in real time. From soap operas to prizefights, they turned microphones into weapons — and radio into America’s living room. Today, their art deco towers and neon signs still whisper the stories of a golden age when the wars were waged in sound.
