News from 1943. I usually share these via torrent but I don't think all these files are available on archive.org so here's a 1943 news file dump. Plus some V-Discs. Any typo or error is mine. Public-domain transfers from the Internet Archive.

The shape of the run
What survives, year by year
51 dated broadcasts across 85 years on the air, with 80 years where nothing is known to survive. Brightness is transfer quality; empty cells are months lost to time.
