The year 1938 saw a number of significant events in radio broadcasting. ==Events== *13 March: CBS carries the first-ever point-to-point news roundup, including Edward R. Murrow's first live report, as part of its coverage of the Anschluss in Austria. Over the next few months, the daily programme evolves into the ''CBS World News Roundup'', a fixture on the network to this very day. *15 March: The BBC begins its Portuguese and Spanish service for Latin America. *14 April: Fireside chat: ''On Economic Conditions'' *24 June: Fireside chat: ''On Party Primaries'' *12 September: Commentator H. V. Kaltenborn begins his famous marathon of news bulletins on the CBS network covering the intensifying Czech Crisis over the Sudetenland. The first bulletin is a summation of Hitler's closing address to the Tenth (and, as it would prove, last) Party Congress of the Nazi party in Nuremberg. Kaltenborn would eat and sleep in the studio, making periodic updates, until the signing of the Munich Agreement on 29 September. *30 October: Orson Welles's radio adaptation of ''The War of the Worlds'' is broadcast on CBS as an episode of ''The Mercury Theatre on the Air''. As the program was self-sustaining and had no commercial interruptions, Welles centered the first two-thirds of the broadcast in the serious style of a series of news bulletins interrupting a live musical broadcast. This approach resulted in panic in various parts of the United States. *10 November: Kate Smith sings "God Bless America" for the first time on her radio show, a day before Armistice Day. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1938 in radio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
