News from 1946. I usually share these via torrent but I don't think all these files are available on archive.org so here's a 1946 news file dump. Plus some V-Discs & specials. Any typo or error is mine. Public-domain transfers from the Internet Archive.

The shape of the run
What survives, year by year
13 dated broadcasts across 81 years on the air, with 79 years where nothing is known to survive. Brightness is transfer quality; empty cells are months lost to time.
