New Year's Eve/New Year's Day Broadcast Schedule

Radio Dismuke’s 21st Annual New Year’s Eve Broadcast

Ring in the New Year across all four continental U.S. time zones and beyond with Radio Dismuke’s 21st annual New Year’s Eve broadcast!

Joining Dismuke will be guest contributors Matt from College Station, Shae, and Connor from OldTimeBlues.net, who will take turns spinning fun and fascinating 1920s and 1930s recordings from their respective 78 rpm and 80 rpm collections. There’s no better way to start a brand-new year than with happy, jazzy, and melodic vintage tunes!

Special Features for This Year’s Broadcast

Celebrating milestones: 2026 marks the 100th anniversary of 1926, the 110th anniversary of 1916, and the 120th anniversary of 1906. We’ll include select recordings from each of these years.

Rare and historic gems:

Early, commercially unsuccessful attempts from the late 1920s and 1930s to introduce long-playing records.
A 1924 recording by an early Texas jazz band, captured during OKeh Records’ field trip to Dallas—the first commercial recordings ever made in Texas.
An extremely rare surviving fragment of a 1929 syndicated musical radio program.
An excerpt from our very first New Year's broadcast 20 years ago featuring the late Eddie The Collector.

Plus, lots of great 1920s and 1930s recordings that have not yet made their way into Radio Dismuke’s regular playlist.

Miss the initial airing of the broadcast on New Year's Eve?

No problem! The entire program will be rebroadcast in continuous rotation throughout New Year’s Day—perfect for those with other plans or in time zones where the initial airing falls at odd hours.
