Military training film on a New York radio station, WMCA, owned by the Nathan Straus family, showing its ownership, management and activities. Good view of radio in the era when most stations were locally owned and operated.

An excellent, yet curious, film showing how small, independant radio stations work in the transition from the Golden Age of Radio of the 1930s and 1940s into the more mechanized process that would arise starting in the 1960s. What makes the film so great is not only the excellent cinematography and scoring, but it also provides great information on how the business of radio operates, emphasizing that it is a business and requires advertisers. The film also has some great footage of scenes in and around the radio station and early 50s New York life.
