Brought to You in Living Color: 75 Years of Great Moments in Television and Radio from NBC Description
On November 15, 1926, the National Broadcasting Company aired its inaugural radio broadcast–a night of entertainment from the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. NBC’s first president, Merlin H. Aylesworth, enthusiastically kicked off the evening. "Think of it!" he exclaimed. "Ten or maybe twelve million persons may be hearing what takes place in this ballroom tonight."
Little did he know that this was the beginning of a journey that would put NBC into the hearts, minds, and homes of millions of Americans through a medium that had yet to be developed: television. Since that spectacular evening more than seventy-five years ago, NBC has continued to provide the American public–through television, radio, and the Internet–with entertainment and information that has paralleled our nation’s social and political history.
Brought to You in Living Color: 75 Years of Great Moments in Television & Radio from NBC is a visually striking panorama of the news events, personalities, characters, and programs that have punctuated American life from the debut of NBC Radio through its rise to a television powerhouse. Resplendent with rare photos, this volume acknowledges not just the accomplishments of NBC but the achievements of a great many talented individuals who collectively have helped create the seventy-five-year history of the first broadcast network.
