For the second time on our program, we are pleased to present Chesterfield broadcasts by Paul Whiteman and Glenn Miller on the same bill. This time around, they and their bands are on the air from Duke University in Durham, North Carolina and “the home of Chesterfields”. “Pops” kicks off the festivities with his Friday, May 13, 1938 CBS half-hour and GM continues with his Wednesday, May 15, 1940 effort. The Miller segment was broadcast from the then-new Indoor Gymnasium before a live audience of 12,000 people.

Do you remember the joy of sitting by an old wood radio and listening to the timeless music of the big bands and singers of the 40? Maybe you’re too young and always wondered what it must have been like to read by the light of the old Philco while band after band broadcast live from around the country. That’s exactly the experience you get with The Star Spangled Radio Hour on KEZW.
KEZW’s Rick Crandall is joined by Dennis Spragg of the Glenn Miller Archive every Saturday night for an hour of pure nostalgia. Dennis digs deep into the collection of the GMA at the University of Colorado and brings two broadcast remotes each week. Some were broadcast on Armed Forces Radio exclusively for the troops overseas during WWII. Others were radio broadcasts heard coast-to-coast in the 40’s. Each week we share the history of the artists and songs and take you on a magical journey to big bands golden days.
The Star Spangled Radio Hour is a production of KEZW-CU GMA Presents and is heard exclusively on America’s #1 Big Band station, Studio 1430. Join us this week!!!
