The Progressive Broadcasting System was a short-lived radio network of the early 1950s. "()atering to smaller radio stations,"〔 〕 the company had hoped to affiliate with around 1,000 radio stations in the United States which did not already have affiliation agreements with the "Big Four" national radio networks of those days: NBC, CBS, ABC, & Mutual, as well as LBS, second in size to Mutual. ''Time'' announced the company's formation on September 4, 1950. Broadcasts began November 26, 1950.〔 〕 ==Operation== Progressive planned to offer programming for 10hours of the day on as many as 350 radio stations. At a press conference August 10, 1950, Progressive President Larry Finley told reporters, "Advertising will be local, except for the night programs, and there will be no network option time." The network's flagship station was KGFJ in Hollywood.〔 Two hundred stations were needed for the network to break even. However, only "about 100 stations" joined, and the network folded at the end of its schedule on January 31, 1951.〔 〕 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「Progressive Broadcasting System」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
