Script by Max Braithwaite Narration by Elwy Yost 1967 RECORD COMPANIES have joined the Centennial spending spree with about 30 commemorative discs already issued and more on the way. They range from the Singing Girls of Sherbrooke, suitably on the Caprice label, to Pierre Berton reading poetry by Robert Service. All the albums have one thing in common: limited appeal to a specialized audience. . . .

More about it

. . .Grade schoolers of all ages will be interested in a Centennial presentation by Toronto-area radio station CFGM, entitled Canadian School Days — a sound trip back to the one-room schoolhouse of 1867 and a preview of the electronic school of 2067. The record begins with a loud school bell, followed by a teacherly voice coyly asking: "Recognize this sound?” What follows is a mildly witty glance Into past and future with some amusing contrasts to schools today. [Schools and radio stations can get a free copy by writing to CFGM, Richmond Hill, Ont.]

Radio drama, old-time radio and historic broadcasts from the Internet Archive (its Old Time Radio collection with the Old Time Radio Researchers' sets, WWII Era Audio Recordings, the Pacifica Radio Archives, the Radio Haiti Archive, German radio plays and listeners' uploads), Wikimedia Commons (with the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision's broadcasts) and the Library of Congress. Every episode plays from its archive, which this site does not copy; rights are as each archive states them. Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is. Horror, crime, war and westerns are for teenage and adult profiles, racist caricature for adults only, and children’s profiles hear what was made for children. More about these archives.
