1958 Dissertation on Audience Participation Programs

[Dbacksfan12]

Came across this while looking for something else…it’s a dissertation written by a student going for his doctorate at Ohio State University in 1958.  A good deal of information on radio shows.  Perhaps this is more appropriate for the archive?

This is roughly the time Fred Silverman wrote his thesis at anOSU about using demographics to better sell advertising.

This is an extraordinary resource for information about old radio game shows.  There's some detail in the descriptions that I didn't know about before, including for some of Bill Cullen's old shows.  Unfortunately there just aren't a lot of us left who care.

That said, there is at least one point of caution- Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons was a dramatic series (and one that lasted for a rather long time at that), and the listings I've seen from the 1951-1953 period do not seem to suggest it having a format change during that time.
