The organ, choir, and announcer shared a single microphone which was attached to the ceiling of the tabernacle. The announcer stood on a ladder in order to speak into it. A telegraph was used to alert the sound engineer at KSL to start the broadcast.〔(''History of Music and the Spoken Word'' ), Bonneville Communications. Retrieved on March 28, 2007.〕 Anthony C. Lund was the director of the choir for the first program, and Earl J. Glade the general manager of KSL was the director and producer of the first program.〔("Tabernacle Choir Presents 3000th Broadcast February 15" ), ''Ensign'', February 1987, pp. 76–77.〕 Glade had been the moving force behind getting the program started. Since its first broadcast in 1929, the program has run continually and has been broadcast over 4,000 times. The unbroken length of broadcasts makes ''Music and the Spoken Word'' the oldest continuous nationwide network broadcast in the world. In 2004, the program was inducted into the National Association of Broadcasters Radio Hall of Fame, in conjunction with its 75th anniversary on the air. It is one of only two radio programs to be so inducted, the other being the ''Grand Ole Opry''.〔(''NAB Radio Hall of Fame Inductees'' ), National Association of Broadcasters.
