[ARSCLIST] Fishing expedition -- WNBC show from 1953 or 1954

[Tom Fine <tflists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a deep fishing expedition, but I figure if anyone can get me pointed where I need to go, 
they might be on this list. Ideally, someone who knows if NBC Radio archives exist and if so, where 
they might be ...

I'm looking for a broadcast from either 1953 or 1954. It is an episode of "Music Through the Night" 
with Harry Fleetwood. Mr. Fleetwood did a series of interviews with heads of classical recording of 
all the major record companies at that time, and one of those interviews was with my mother. Alas, 
our tape of that interview is recorded over but for the last 5 minutes. Why/how -- who knows, but 
the net result is, most of the recording is lost. In case anyone is interested, I do have the 
complete interview with Israel Horowitz of Decca Records. In that interview, Fleetwood mentions that 
he had already done RCA and London, so those interviews may exist, too.

I have a creeping doubt that systematic archiving of this program was done, but maybe something 
special like these interviews were recorded and kept. Or, maybe someone knows an aircheck bug who 
happened to be fascinated with the classical music business during the heyday of hifi and who was a 
night owl. OK, it's a stretch but maybe I'll get lucky.

Thanks in advance!
