Complete Broadcast Day Recordings


OTRCAT Mascot
The Complete Broadcast Day Collections are an engrossing listen into exactly what a broadcast day sounded like in yesteryear.  Sadly much of the 'filler' or in-between material is lost or never recorded, but you can hear it all in these unique full-day collections:

Nazis
Complete Broadcast 1939
(Nazis invading Poland)
The day the Nazis invaded Poland is seen as the beginning of the Second World War. The staff of WJSV recorded the entire days broadcast, so we can learn about the events as they unfold.

Pearl Harbor
Complete Broadcast 1941
(Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor)
complete broadcast day recordings of the Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941.The Japanese attack changed the history of the world and officially brought the United States in World War II.

DDay
Complete Broadcast 1944
(D-Day Invasion of Normandy)
The invasion of Europe was to be the turning point of The War, but no one back home knew when or how it would happen. CBS recorded their entire broadcast day on June 6, 1944, so we can learn about the events as they unfold. 
There is both CBS and NBC coverage.

Atomic Bomb
WEAF 660AM 12-Hour Broadcast
(Aug 10 1945 after Atomic Bombing of Nagasaki)
Transcribed under the assumption of the end of the war the day after the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, this recording is a significant part of American history as it reflects the tension as we teetered at the end of WWII.
