Edna Fischer
Edna Fischer was a pianist whose music was heard regularly on KPO. Her long
radio career began on an early KRE broadcast. In 1926, she joined KFRC, where
she was a regular on the 'Blue Monday Jamboree' and 'Happy Go Lucky Hour' . That
was followed by two decades with KPO and NBC, where she regularly appeared on
Signal Oil's 'Carefree Carnival' with Meredith Willson and Tommy Harris, fellow
KFRC transplants. She also wrote that program's theme song. Her own program,
'Stars in the Making' on KPO, featured rising San Francisco music talent. Edna
Fischer moved to television in the early 1950's, when she became Music Director
of KPIX-TV
