BACK OF THE MIKE (1938, 9:15)
General Motor's Chevrolet Division sponsored this behind-the-scenes documentary coverage of the live performance of a radio western, played out in the context of the imagery produced by a little boy listening imagination. Great venue for viewing how radio productions, especially sound effects, were actually performed. Watch & see why Chevrolet decided to sponsor this particular film!
BEHIND YOUR RADIO DIAL: THE STORY OF NBC (1947, 24:04)
Widely considered the most classic of OTR films, this extraordinary document chronicles the birth and growth of the world's first commercial radio network with a behind-the-scenes tour of their Radio City & Rockefeller Center facilities in New York City and recourse to many time honored film clips of all things radiophonic.
COMMUNICATION: A FILM LESSON IN GENERAL SCIENCE / DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNICATION (1927, 13:04)
A treat of a film, much venerated on a number of accounts, not least of all for its demonstrating and explaining all the communication technologies extant during this seminal period in media history.
HEAR AND NOW (1958, 18:04)
Superb historical survey over all the highlights of world history as covered by radio, and a key to understanding daily life then and during the cold war era wherein this film was produced.
INDEPENDENT RADIO STATION (1951, 18:02)
The U.S. Army sponsored this film documenting the operations of WMCA, a radio station much beloved by baby boomers of the New York Metropolitan area, in an effort to encapsulate the significance of locally & independently owned & operated radio stations that were the norm of the era.
ON THE AIR (1937, 9:53)
GMC's Chevrolet Division is at it again with radio, this time it seeks, very successfully, to explain just how radio in 1937 worked, from the microphone to the radio set, and all the steps of broadcasting its signal over the airwaves straight from the point of transmission out to the point of reception.
PLANE TALK (1965, 21:27)
The role of radio as used by commercial air carriers in confirming passenger reservations, aircraft pre-flight preparation, air traffic control, flight monitoring and air-to-ground communications is here documented in this Leo Rosencrans directed film.
RADIO AND TELEVISION (1940, 10:30)
Vocational Guidance Films sponsored this effort to help educate its audience about the wide variety of technical jobs that were available not only in the now time-honored field of radio broadcasting & receiving but also the fledgling vocation of television. Though it's intended to instruct its viewers about employment opportunities contemporary to its time, it teaches us in our day a great deal about communications operations in its day.
RADIO AT WAR (1944, 20:36)
Unique film illustrating how radio and its associate communications was critical to the conduct and winning of World War II.
THE BIG BOUNCE (1960, TECHNICOLOR, 14:23)
The extraordinary story of Echo, history's second communications satellite, which consisted of a huge balloon placed into orbit and off of which were bounced radio signals aimed at from earth, which technique ultimately resulted Echo's helping place the very first satellite telephone call.
TUESDAY IN NOVEMBER (1945, 16:43)
With especial emphasis on the role radio played in the media coverage of the electoral process, John Houseman directed this celebration of Election Day, the annual day for general elections of federal public officials in the United States, statutorily set by the U.S. government as "the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November", i.e. the Tuesday that occurs within November 2 to November 8. A splendid and skillful propaganda film on the continuation of the democratic process by while the republic was at war during the 1944 presidential election.
UNIVERSAL NEWSREEL DECEMBER 22ND 1958: ATLAS IN ORBIT - RADIOS IKE'S MESSAGE OF PEACE TO WORLD (1958, B&W, 3:38)
A classic example of newsreel propaganda at its most crafted, touting the sophistication of America's most powerful launch vehicle and celebrating the historic first of broadcasting a voice message from space to the world. This achievement was made more significant by the fact that this Christmas message of President Eisenhower was transmitted from earth to the Project SCORE satellite built into orbiting Atlas and then rebroadcast from Atlas/SCORE to the people of the earth further on in its orbit, originating the process known as "store and forward" which is still in use today and marking SCORE as the world's first communications satellite.
UNIVERSAL NEWSREEL - LARGEST RADIO TRANSMITTER IS DEDICATED (1953, 0:53)
Using the same telegraphy key with which he first made a name for himself by obtaining the names of survivors of the Titanic tragedyNBC's David Sarnoff inaugurates the operation of the U.S. Navy's new trasmitter, the largest in the world, named Jim Creek, so named after the section of the Cascade Mountain range of Washington State it was located in. What was not mentioned in this newsreel was that the primary intention of Jim Creek was intended to transmit on the VLF (Very Low Frequency) band to United States Pacific Fleet submarines while they were submerged,.
UNIVERSAL NEWSREEL JULY 12TH 1962: A DAY IN HISTORY - TELSTAR BRINGS WORLD CLOSER (1962, B&W, 3:17)
The world's first commercial "comsat" (communications satellite) is sent into orbit, transmits the first television picture to and from space, and becomes the vanguard of many other such telstars which enabled continuous global telephone, data, television and other communications.
UNIVERSAL NEWSREEL JULY 23RD 1962: KENNEDY ON TELSTAR - EUROPE SEES NEWS CONFERENCE (1962, B&W, 1:17)
The president proudly comments upon the achievements of the first commercial communications satellite as part of a press conference broadcast from the Telstar satellite to Europe.
VOICE OF VICTORY (1944, 27:14)
Shows how radio in general, and propaganda broadcasting in particular, played their part to win the victory in WWII. An excellent addition to any WWII propaganda collection.
The early history of radio is the history of technology that produces and uses radio instruments that use radio waves. Within the timeline of radio, many people contributed theory and inventions in what became radio. Radio development began as "wireless telegraphy". Later radio history increasingly involves matters of broadcasting.
Radio is the technology of signaling and communicating using radio waves. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves of frequency between 30 hertz (Hz) and 300 gigahertz (GHz). They are generated by an electronic device called a transmitter connected to an antenna which radiates the waves, and received by another antenna connected to a radio receiver. Radio is very widely used in modern technology, in radio communication, radar, radio navigation, remote control, remote sensing and other applications. In radio communication, used in radio and television broadcasting, cell phones, two-way radios, wireless networking and satellite communication among numerous other uses, radio waves are used to carry information across space from a transmitter to a receiver, by modulating the radio signal (impressing an information signal on the radio wave by varying some aspect of the wave) in the transmitter. In radar, used to locate and track objects like aircraft, ships, spacecraft and missiles, a beam of radio waves emitted by a radar transmitter reflects off the target object, and the reflected waves reveal the object's location. In radio navigation systems such as GPS and VOR, a mobile receiver accepts radio signals from navigational radio beacons whose position is known, and by precisely measuring the arrival time of the radio waves the receiver can calculate its position on Earth. In wireless radio remote control devices like drones, garage door openers, and keyless entry systems, radio signals transmitted from a controller device control the actions of a remote device. Applications of radio waves which do not involve transmitting the waves significant distances, such as RF heating used in industrial processes and microwave ovens, and medical uses such as diathermy and MRI machines, are not usually called radio. The noun radio is also used to mean a broadcast radio receiver. Radio waves were first identified and studied by German physicist Heinrich Hertz in 1886. The first practical radio transmitters and receivers were developed around 1895-1896 by Italian Guglielmo Marconi, and radio began to be used commercially around 1900. To prevent interference between users, the emission of radio waves is regulated by law, coordinated by an international body called the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), which allocates frequency bands in the radio spectrum for different uses.
