Radio in the Sunday Herald Tribune

Like The Sunday Times, the Sunday Herald Tribune ran a full week's listing of radio programs, as well as a detailed listing of the music to be heard that week on the radio.

In radio news and ads:

  • A brief article noted special Holy Week programming on WEAF, the NBC affiliate. Actress Jane Cowl would be reading from the Bible, accompanied by "background music of an ecclesiastical nature,” Tuesday- Friday at 12:30 PM. The Bethany College Oratorio Society was performing selections from Handel's "Messiah" Friday at 6:15 PM. Francis Cardinal Spellman was delivering his Easter message, “Christ or Chaos,” Saturday at 12:30 PM.

  • Truman was marking Pan American Day with a speech before the advisory board of the Pan-American Union in D.C, at 12:15 Monday. It was being carried by WEAF, WJZ and WABC and most independent stations. WOR was rebroadcasting the address at 1:30 PM.

  • An ad for William L. Shirer's radio broadcast, which designated him as an "expert on international affairs," urged readers to tune in at 5:45 to hear his discussion on "Are Spain and Greece Also Issues for the UN,” presented by Glider “No Brush” Shave Cream. Shirer also wrote for the Herald Tribune.

  • WOR had an ad for its Sunday “mystery triple feature" from 4:00 to 5:00 PM. “Murder Is My Hobby” led off, followed by “True Detective” and “The Shadow,” the Mutual Network's most popular show. At 7 PM, the station had Melvyn Douglas in the Passover program,“The Four Questions” and at 9:00 PM “The Telephone," "a science half-hour as startling as a midnight phone call."
