![]() On May 8, 1945, 60 million Americans tuned in to hear "On A Note of Triumph", Norman Corwin's radio masterpiece marking the end of World War II in Europe. It was the most listened-to radio drama in U.S. history. "On A Note Of Triumph" ranks as one of the two most famous old radio shows, Orson Welle's "War Of the Worlds" being the other. Where Welle's program demonstrated the power of radio and the national affect a radio program could have on the general public, Corsin's program demonstrated the power of the written word which could affected the general public's very soul. |
