Complete NBC Broadcast Day D Day News and Music
5:00 PM
by
This recording presents news and music from NBC’s broadcast day on June 6, 1944, identified as the 5:00 PM portion. It offers a snapshot of radio programming on D-Day, when listeners were following the Allied landings in Normandy and the unfolding news of the invasion.
The combination of news and music reflects the varied material heard across a day of wartime broadcasting. The recording’s focus is the broadcast itself: reports and musical programming from a specific time, rather than a dramatized story.
For listeners interested in radio history, this is an opportunity to hear a broadcast associated with one of the defining dates of World War II and to experience the sound and programming of NBC on that day.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
