Monitor previews mix of clocks and vignettes on NBC radio
The 1955 Citizen review describes NBCs new weekend radio program Monitor as a collage of varied segments. It opens with time zones and clocks, features BBC reports from Le Mans, desk bits with Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding, Hermosa beach scenes, a San Quentin segment, and visits from New Yorks Hurleys Bar. The piece notes Weaver's aim for a broad, festival style audience and questions the format's coherence.
