Children's Programs for Radio Broadcast

It has been found by many high school and other beginning broadcasting groups that the problems of immature voices, inexperienced sound and music crews, and inadequate equipment make actual broadcasting for public listening inadvisable. One solution is the "children's hour" type of broadcast. Instead of trying to use materials beyond the physical age and emotional experience of the student, provide interesting programs for the children of the community by airing the old and always-loved fairy tales. Many high school and even college groups find that these are within the pale of their experience and ability, that the imaginary characters are within the vocal age of the individual performer, young as he may be. This collection provides scripts which have been tested in actual broadcast. They have proved both easy to produce and of interest to younger children. A producing group can aid in answering the problem of providing better children's programs on the air by broadcasting such programs as these, and at the same time gain experience for eventual work on more difficult and challenging broadcasts. - To the teacher.
