HALL
OF FAME
The Hall of Fame is
the Radio Academy's tribute to those figures in the public eye
that have made an outstanding contribution to the UK radio
industry.
Recapture memories of many vintage radio programmes, some of
which have disappeared into the mists of time. You can also read
about the lives and careers of some of the 'men behind the
music'. Although additions will be made from time to time, the
emphasis will be on poorly documented artists who were prolific
broadcasters as opposed to major recording artists such as
Mantovani about whom much written material already exists.
The UK's Favourite Nostalgia
Station - Snap, Crackle but No Pop!
This on-line radio station was born out of a desperate need to
hear those great songs from that golden era of song writing.
Not just the occasional one-off song, lost in a sea of pop
mediocrity, but all day every day. That's what Serenade Radio is
here for!

Free Old Time Radio Shows from "The Golden Age of
Radio!"
The radio was our link to the world. Radio programs were
broadcast into our homes daily; into our living rooms, at
our bedsides, and into our hearts. Everyone had a favorite
program. Whether it was Jack Benny, or Dragnet, Beyond Midnight,
or Glenn Miller, our beloved radio brought us daily episodes of
sorrow, joy, music, hope, and tragedy. Our radio consoled us,
instructed us, and made us laugh. As you know, before television,
families like ours used to sit in their living rooms each night
to listen to radio shows like; Dimension X, You Bet Your Life,
Gunsmoke, The Shadow, Father Knows Best, and many others. When TV
become popular in the 1950's, most of these shows went off the
air, they now live on at RadioTimeZone.com.
