Hello! Welcome to the official web-site for Media Heritage, Inc. We are dedicated to preserving, restoring and presenting the history of radio, television, film and print--especially that of the Greater Cincinnati area.

Media Heritage is pleased to announce that we have the opportunity to acquire, for our Greater Cincinnati Radio and Television Museum, and authentic Wurlitzer six rank theater pipe organ. Back in the 1920's and 1930's, most radio stations had a pipe organ on "stand-by" for a variety of programs and to "fill-in" for shows that ended early or went off the air suddenly. In Cincinnati, the pipe organ was the preferred instrument of such lasting entertainers as Fats Waller, Ruth Lyons, Lee Erwin, Hap Lee and Gene Perrazo, among others.  Many radio programs utilized the organ for such things as theme songs, sound effects and accompaniment. Media Heritage has been offered a Wurlitzer Pipe organ (Opus 1787) that was originally installed in a small theater in Troy, Ohio.  However, and most important, one of the ranks of pipes was from the organ at WLW's famous Arlington Street studios in Cincinnati!   The owner would love to see this instrument stay in Cincinnati but acknowledges he has potential buyers in other parts of the United States.  He has given us until mid- February to raise the money to purchase the instrument.  Additional money would eventually need to be raised to pay for its restoration and installation. But first thing's first!  Let's keep this part of musical history in Cincinnati!

B West Chester, Ohio 45069 To date, about a third of our goal ($15,000) has been secured--perhaps you can help!  All major donors will be recognized permanently on a plaque with the instrument.
