RADIO, THE WHEELING JAMBOREE - THEN & NOW

Back in December, 1932, the program department of radio station WWVA, Wheeling, WV in its untiring efforts to serve radio listeners, came to the conclusion that an informal Midnight Saturday broadcast should be included in the station's program schedule. Because it is generally accepted that Saturday-night is "Stay-up" night, it was felt that a late night show should be light, full of fun and spontaneous.
Such a broadcast was planned and presented to WWVA listeners for the first time on Saturday, January 7, 1933 from 12:00 Midnight to 2:00AM. Because of the nature, its hilarious fun, and its informal atmosphere the name JAMBOREE was destined to make radio broadcasting history. The official stage presentation and radio broadcast of the Wheeling Jamboree took place April 1, 1933 from the stage of Wheeling's Capitol Theatre.
