Monitor
Hospitals of Tomorrow
by
Monitor was NBC Radio’s weekend magazine program, bringing listeners a varied mix of reporting, interviews, commentary, and cultural features. Rather than following a single continuing story, it offered a broad view of people and ideas through conversations and on-location reports.
The program’s magazine format could move among current affairs, science, the arts, and everyday life. The title “Hospitals of Tomorrow” points to a subject explored in this installment, inviting listeners to consider how medical care and hospital services might develop.
With its mix of informative segments and human-interest perspectives, Monitor offers an accessible snapshot of the concerns and possibilities of its time. Its conversational radio style makes the material feel like a guided tour through a range of topics, with each feature bringing a different voice or point of view to the program.
