The Hoover Sentinels

"The Hoover Sentinels" was a radio concert series which was broadcast on NBC from 1927 to 1935. Sponsored by Hoover Vacuums, it was sometimes heard as "Madame Schumann-Heink", "Hoover Sentinels Serenade", "Sentinels Serenade" or "Hoover Sentinels" .

The 30-minute program initially aired on Sunday evenings at 10pm and later on Sunday afternoons at 5pm. In 1934-35 it was in the top ten of the highest rated radio programs.

The program's vocalist was contralto Ernestine Schumann-Heink, who also was heard on "Enna Jettick Melodies".Dunning, John. "On the Air: The Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio".
