America's Town Meeting of the Air

America's Town Meeting of the Air is a public-affairs discussion broadcast begun on NBC Blue and continued on ABC Radio, built around live debates from New York's Town Hall.

America's Town Meeting of the Air is a public affairs discussion broadcast on radio and television from May 30, 1935, to July 1, 1956, mainly on the NBC Blue Network and its successor, ABC Radio. One of radio's first talk shows, it began as a six-week experiment, and NBC itself did not expect much from it.
