wartime broadcasts

Military radio programming

Radio or television transmissions during periods of armed conflict, typically including news reports, government announcements, propaganda, and morale-boosting entertainment.

Wartime broadcasts served crucial roles in World War II—Churchill's speeches, Roosevelt's fireside chats, and resistance messages like the BBC's coded transmissions to occupied Europe: We listened anxiously to the wartime broadcasts for news of the invasion.
