On Wednesday October 15th, 1947 at 6:30PM over ABC's New York City flagship station WJZ (today WABC), New York Tonight signed on with emcee Allen Prescott.

Prescott was born in St. Louis in 1904. By the post-war years he was an ABC panel host and radio commentator. This evening program featured news, his personal reflections, and music. It mentions Bing Crosby's Wednesday evening Philco Radio Time program and the new Lana Turner/Van Heflin film Green Dolphin Street which opened that day.

This recording only features the first half of the show. It's one of the only surviving of the series.
