Count Basie 1937 Savoy Ballroom broadasts- what radio station?


Recommended Posts

My guess is that the Savoy broadcast also was a national broadcast, and if so, it would have been on NBC's Blue Network. Local station would have been WMCA.

I'm basing this on Ella's 1939 and 1940 recordings, all of which were on NBC.

Edit: Yeah, it was definitely national. I'm listening to it now. The announcer stumbles over his words, but he says "good evening to the East and good morning to the West Coast".
