• A Date With Judy Radio Show

  “A Date with Judy” was a notable radio show that captured the hearts of many during its run from 1941 to 1950. Aimed primarily at a teenage audience, the show was a comedic portrayal of the everyday life of Judy Foster, a typical teenager of the time, and her family and friends. The series was co-created by Jerome Lawrence and Aleen Leslie, based on Leslie’s “One Girl Chorus” column in the Pittsburgh Press.

  The show began as a summer replacement for Bob Hope’s show, sponsored by Pepsodent, and aired on NBC with 14-year-old Ann Gillis initially playing the title role. Over the years, the character of Judy was also portrayed by Dellie Ellis and Louise Erickson, who continued in the role for seven years. The show’s popularity led to a film adaptation in 1948 starring Jane Powell, and a television version that ran from 1951 to 1953.

  “A Date with Judy” was part of a trio of radio series that started in the 1940s, focusing on the trials and tribulations of a female teenage lead character. Its contemporaries included “Junior Miss” and “Meet Corliss Archer,” both of which also enjoyed success and depicted the impact of the lead characters on their family and friends.

  The legacy of “A Date with Judy” is a testament to the cultural impact radio shows had during the golden age of radio. They were a source of entertainment, a reflection of societal norms, and a means of storytelling that brought families together. The show’s success and the subsequent adaptations highlight the timeless appeal of stories that resonate with the experiences of adolescence, family dynamics, and the humor found in everyday life.

The biggest names in Hollywood and Broadway recorded for AFRS during the war years, The American Forces Network can trace its origins back to May 26, 1942, when the War Department established the Armed Forces Radio Service (AFRS). The U.S. Army began broadcasting from London during World War II, using equipment and studio facilities borrowed from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). The first transmission to U.S. troops began at 5:45 p.m. on July 4, 1943, and included less than five hours of recorded shows, a BBC news and sports broadcast. That day, Corporal Syl Binkin became the first U.S. Military broadcasters heard over the air. The signal was sent from London via telephone lines to five regional transmitters to reach U.S. troops in the United Kingdom as they prepared for the inevitable invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe. Fearing competition for civilian audiences the BBC initially tried to impose restrictions on AFN broadcasts within Britain (transmissions were only allowed from American Bases outside London and were limited to 50 watts of transmission power) and a minimum quota of British produced programming had to be carried. Nevertheless AFN programmes were widely enjoyed by the British civilian listeners who could receive them and once AFN operations transferred to continental Europe (shortly after D-Day) AFN were able to broadcast with little restriction with programmes available to civilian audiences across most of Europe (including Britain) after dark. As D-Day approached, the network joined with the BBC and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to develop programs especially for the Allied Expeditionary Forces. Mobile stations, complete with personnel, broadcasting equipment, and a record library were deployed to broadcast music and news to troops in the field. The mobile stations reported on front line activities and fed the news reports back to studio locations in London.
