Who was the longtime Bob Hope broadcaster?
According to biographical information authorized by the Hope family, Bob Hope weekly programs and specials were broadcast for 60 years by the National Broadcasting Company (NBC), first on radio and then television.
Prior to 1960, radio stations featured programming similar to today's network TV with variety shows, comedy, sitcoms, dramas, mysteries, etc. Performers were often personally identified with program sponsors, and many stars represented the same sponsor for years. Bob Hope's first regularly-scheduled appearance on NBC radio was in a 1937 weekly series the "Woodbury Soap Show", and in 1938 he was signed to his own weekly NBC show by Pepsodent toothpaste. His radio show continued every Tuesday night until April 1956.
Bob Hope made his NBC television debut in 1950 on Easter Sunday in "Star Spangled Review" sponsored by Frigidaire. Hope adamantly refused to do a weekly TV show as he had done for nearly 20 years on radio, so his 40-year TV career consisted of periodic "specials", where again he was personally identified with his sponsors; most Bob Hope specials were sponsored by Texaco or Chrysler. He performed his final special "Laughing with the Presidents" in 1996.
