WRTI Executive Staff Lists
1948 through Spring 1956
These lists are compiled from old WRTI Program Guides and the weekly WRTI Newsletter, "On Audition." Additional information gathered from old newspaper articles. They were found by Gerry Wilkinson in the Conwellana-Templana Special Collection at the Samuel Paley Library at Temple University. They are part of the John B. Roberts file. If you can help us fill in the blanks, it would be appreciated.
