The programs "BY COLUMBIA" for AUGUST are planned within a
triple frame of Interest. Timeliness, and Balance. This insures a
program schedule as alive and varied as the world it portrays; as
flexible as the interests of the millions who listen. Because of this
flexibility, so intrinsic to radio, smaller details of the schedule given
here are subject to change. These day -to -day changes are usually
reported in local newspaper radio listings.
For your convenience, the Columbia sustaining programs listed
on the following pages are grouped in these ten classifications:
