Acousticon Hour

It offered selections from classical music, orchestral favorites, operas and operettas.

The show was sponsored by the company that marketed the Acousticon brand hearing aid, invented by Miller Reese Hutchison.

[1] As broadcast historian Elizabeth McLeod has noted, in the 1920s a product name used in a show's title was considered a more acceptable form of advertising than the use of intrusive commercial messages: The Acousticon Hour was not a 60-minute show as the title suggests.

Selections from the operas Carmen and La Gioconda were included in the April 1928 schedule.

Performers who made their network premieres on the show included Lina Abarbanell, Donald Brian, Shelton Brooks, Victor Moore, Jack Norworth, Blanche Ring, Julia Sanderson, Jean Schwartz, Six Brown Brothers, and Sophie Tucker.
