List is missing "Chapter A Day" on WHA and the Wisconsin Public Radio network.[edit]

See the Wikipedia page on "Chapter A Day" radio program on WHA/9XM since 1923.

Thanks for the suggestion. The article Chapter a Day indicates that early records are weak and that the readings were sometimes intermmittent. So, we may have trouble fixing an exact date for the main table. Perhaps we should have a separate section for such. Andrew🐉(talk) 13:38, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chapter a Day says "The earliest documentation of the Chapter a Day title referring to the narration of an entire book is found for July 25, 1932" so I've used that date as a starting point but said in the comments that some records suggest it may have started in the late 1920s. The WHA website says 1931, though but doesn't give an exact date. Wellington Bay (talk) 14:10, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Minimum cut off[edit]

What should be the minimum number of years to qualify for this list? I removed a show that has only been running since 1994 since there are many shows not listed that have been running for since the 80s or early 90s. Should our cutoff be 40 years? 45? 50?
