Container Title
Subseries: Subseries 8A. Vice President for Programming (Director of Programming), 1961-1967
Scope and Content Note

As stated above, Robert Hudson's files as Director of Programming and as VP for Programming do not exist as a separate entity--at least not in the possession of SHSW. In 1959 Hudson was promoted from the post of Director of Programming to VP for Programming. Appointed as his assistant and given the title of Director of Programming was Donley Fedderson. Fedderson was replaced by William Kobin in 1964 when Hudson was given still another promotion to the position of Senior Vice President.

The records for this sub-series consist of a very small amount of Fedderson files (1961-1963) and some William Kobin files (1964-67).
