The Doris Day Show was an American old-time radio musical program. It was broadcast on CBS from March 28, 1952, to May 26, 1953.[1]
Star Doris Day's singing highlighted the show, and each episode usually featured a guest star.[1]
The program was sponsored initially by and later by the Rexall drug company as a summer replacement for Amos 'n' Andy.[2] It was later sponsored by CBS-Columbia, Incorporated, the manufacturing subsidiary of CBS.[3]
"It's Magic" was the theme.[1]
As the show's title implies, Doris Day was the star. Les Brown and his orchestra provided instrumental music. The announcers were Don Wilson,[1] Johnny Jacobs and Roy Rowan.[4] Sam Pierce was the producer and director.[1]
