Grace Yeager

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Grace Yeager is the assumed title of a 1931–1932 United States television series which aired on New York City television station W2XAB. Among the earliest regularly-scheduled series, it featured the singer of the same name, who was a soprano. According to an article in the October 31, 1931 edition of The New York Sun titled W2XAB Source of Features, Yeager had previously been a member of the San Carlos Opera Company.[1] None of the episodes still exist, as it aired live, and practical methods to record live television did not exist until 1947.

Scheduling[edit]

The series typically aired on Tuesdays, at the end of the programming day. For example, one episode was scheduled at 10:45 pm on September 29, 1931 and was preceded by Boyd Wagner,[2] while another episode was scheduled for January 26, 1932 at 10:45PM and was preceded by Bert McElfresh.[3]
