	Pat Weaver (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Pat Weaver was born in Los Angeles in 1908.
		Weaver realized that, if a national audio service was to be maintained, a new kind of programming had to be invented -- the traditional pattern of 15-minute, half-hour or hour comedies, dramas, quiz shows and Westerns wasn't going to cut it anymore.
		Weaver decided to roll the dice: He would toss out almost everything that NBC had going for it on weekends and replace it with "Monitor," an incredibly risky move that could have led to NBC Radio's demise if it hadn't worked.

	Weaver, Sylvester (Pat) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		To promote growth in the fledgling network, Weaver commissioned a series of specials he called "Spectaculars." These heavily-promoted, live specials were designed to generate interest in the NBC schedule in particular and the television medium in general.
		Weaver called this the "magazine concept" of advertising, comparing it to the practice in which print advertisers bought space in magazines without exercising editorial control over the articles.
		Weaver took pride in his classical education, and he championed the idea that commercial television had an educational mission.
