Father
Charles E. Coughlin began broadcasting in 1926 over WJR in Detroit, MI. The
Shrine of the Little Flower in Royal Oak, MI was where CBS carried the programs
beginning 10/03/30, on Sunday afternoons. Known as \"The Fighting Priest,\" he
was very controversial with his anti-Semitic, pro-Fascist broadcasts. It wasn't
until April of 1931 before CBS, after trying to pre-censor him, finally
succeeded in getting him off their airwaves. When NBC wouldn't carried his
broadcasts, Father Coughlin bought time on independent stations from 10/04/31
until well into 1942. Many listeners will find these broadcasts offensive, and
we offer them only as historical recordings and do not endorse them in any
manner. FATHER COUGHLIN 11/27/38 Let Us Consider The Record
