Summary
| Description | Photo of actor Bill Thompson in the role of the henpecked husband Wallace Wimple from the radio program Fibber McGee and Molly. |
| Date | Not dated. The tag says "NBC Red". This was before 1942. NBC once had 2 radio networks, the Red and the Blue[1]. The Red Network carried the most popular radio shows while the Blue Network carried the lesser-known programs and sustaining, or non-sponsored shows. Amos 'n' Andy began airing on the Blue Network; When the radio program became very popular, it was moved from the Blue to the Red Network. Because of a successful antitrust suit, NBC was forced to divest itself of one of its radio networks in 1942. The company sold the Blue Network, which became ABC, keeping the Red Network, which was known thereafter as NBC since there was no longer a need to distinguish between the two. |
