PHILCO RADIO TIME
1948-49
What follows is a list of the broadcasts, principal guests and songs sung by Bing from his third and final Philco season. The shows were recorded on the new Ampex tape recorders, whose development was funded by Bing. On the first broadcast Philco introduced to the public the first 33rpm long-playing record changer. Also making their debut during this season were the first ads for Philco televisions. Joining Bing throughout the season are his announcer, Ken Carpenter, the John Scott Trotter Orchestra and vocalist Peggy Lee. An asterisk (*) beside a show indicates a particularly great show; an asterisk beside a song indicates a great Crosby vocal.
