The original WJSV was a Washington, D.C. radio station, owned by CBS. Among the more famous events involving WJSV was the recording of its entire broadcast day on September 21, 1939 which is what is contained on this DVD. The recording includes many famous radio programs of the time (including Amos 'n Andy and Major Bowes' Original Amateur Hour), local programs featuring Arthur Godfrey and John Charles Daly before their national successes, a Cleveland Indians-Washington Senators baseball game, and a speech by President Franklin Roosevelt.
