Description
"Frank and Anne Hummert brought 125 series to the radio airwaves. Their production empire went far beyond the serialized melodrama to include music, mystery, juvenile adventure, quiz, sports, news, comedy and dramatic theater. The Hummerts tried to appeal to everyone; by the 1940s they controlled four and a half hours of each day's broadcast schedule." "This book explores the private lives and professional dealings of broadcasting's most prolific creator-producers. There are several appendices, including a list of all broadcast series and a chronology of defining moments in the Hummerts' lives. Sample programming schedules give the reader a clear understanding of the Hummerts' dominance."--Jacket.
