Collector Notes
Metromedia Radio broadcasts music in the tradition of the World’s Greatest Radio Station, WNEW-AM. In 1934 businessmen Milton Biow and Arde Bulova purchased a Newark, New Jersey radio station, WODA, and changed the call letters to WNEW. In 1973, WNEW commissioned a series of portraits of famous Jazz and Big Bands stars to announce the station’s return to its earlier musical roots. This poster features Louis Armstrong as part of that portrait series.
