Looking for Research Help

[akirlu]

If I wanted to find out schedules of radio shows for Los Angeles in the late '40s and early '50s, any idea what resources I might use? Should I just call the information desk at the LA County library?

The Museum of Television and Radio in NYC and LA has gotten more commercial over the years, but might have the information you need, or at least point to other resources.

A Google search on "radio schedule in LA 1950" turned up interesting links, some of which may be relevant.

One day we're going to reminisce about the times when the Web was so small that Googling required mad Boolean ski11z.

The only thing I could think of would be to look at old LA newspapers on microfiche for printed schedules. OTOH, old-time radio has a lot of fans, some of whom are discovering the Web. You never know.
