- Description:
- Log book from WSB radio station in Atlanta, Georgia, covering January 1, 1931 - April 30, 1933. The log includes handwritten notes, technical information, Atlanta Journal clippings of program listings, and transcriptions of radio "conversations" between engineers at WSB and ham radio operators. WSB ("Welcome South, Brother") Radio, the first radio station to broadcast in the city of Atlanta, was "born" on March 15, 1922, when it went on the air for the first time at a power of 100 watts. The station was originally owned by The Atlanta Journal and broadcast from a makeshift studio on the fifth floor of The Journal building on Forsyth Street in downtown Atlanta. In 1925 the station moved to more spacious quarters on the top floor of the Biltmore Hotel, where it remained for the next thirty years. Both The Journal and WSB were purchased by Governor James M. Cox of Ohio in 1939; WSB is still a property of Cox Broadcasting Corporation, which was formed when Cox operations reorganized in 1964. Hailed as the "Voice of the South," WSB Radio was an innovative pioneer in radio. Includes shows such as the Atwater Kent Hour, The Palmolive Hour, Makin' Whoopie, Atlanta Journal Studio Orchestra, and The Majestic Theater of the Air.
