Philco Radio Time was an old-time radio radio series starring entertainer Bing Crosby. The series ran over ABC Radio with episodes airing from October 16, 1946–June 1, 1949.[1][2] The series also was syndicated for a period of time over the Armed Forces Radio Network.
The series is also known for being the first pre-recorded radio program aired on the major USA radio networks. For the first season, the shows were recorded on disc, but beginning with the series' second season, the show began using Ampex tape recorders for their broadcasts.[3]
The program was usually recorded in Hollywood and was sponsored by the Philco Corporation.[4]
