In 1934 Martin Block broadcast his Make Believe Ballroom on station WNEW in New York City as filler between news coverage of the closely followed trial of the kidnapper of the Charles Lindbergh baby. Upon the request of thousands of listeners, the makeshift show was retained by the station after the kidnap trial. Block left Make Believe Ballroom in 1954 to host The Martin Block Show for ABC Radio

In 1932 Al Jarvis started a radio program in Los Angeles it was broadcast six hours a day and became a local success. Jarvis' program thus received very little attention outside the Los Angeles area.
•••
After Martin Blocks death in 1967, the Make Believe Ballroom was hosted for decades by DJ William B. Williams on WNEW, where it aired into the late 1980s. After Williams' death, the show was hosted by popular entertainer Steve Allen, beginning in January 1987. Allen hosted the show from both New York and Los Angeles. Until April, 2006, it was hosted on Lake Ronkonkoma, New York's WSHR by Bill Frisch
