American Forces Network documentary on BBC Radio 4.
From: "Mike Barraclough"
American Forces Network, two part documentary, Tuesday 11th and 18th July,
1130 to 1200 BST, 1030 to 1100 UTC, BBC Radio 4, streamed and available
via Listen Again at
American GIs stationed in Britain in the Second World War were so dismayed
at the stuffy entertainment on the BBC that they demanded a network of
their own. General Eisenhower obliged and the American Forces Network was
born. It quickly became just as popular with British listeners who
deserted the BBC for AFN in their thousands.
These programmes hear memories from listeners who were part of the large
British audience captivated by the sounds of the American big bands and
entertainers. There are also archive interviews with two of AFN's first
announcers, Syl Binkin and Ben Doberman. Music from the period plays
throughout along with rare footage from the most popular AFN programmes
and presenters, all sewn together with personal anecdotes by the
consummate jazzman, Humphrey Lyttelton, the UK's leading jazz authority.
