Victory Parade (radio series)

Victory Parade is a radio series that was broadcast through the summer of 1942 by NBC Radio. It was developed in cooperation with the U.S. government's Office of Facts and Figures, an agency which at the time was in the process of being consolidated under the Office of War Information. A similar series, airing on CBS Radio and titled Victory Theater, was also developed at the same time. Both series were the networks' contribution to the World War II war effort. The shows encouraged the American public to support the war effort and to buy war bonds.

Each week Victory Parade aired a special version of one of NBC's well-known prime time series. The facilities and the services of the actors and crew were supplied at no charge to the government. The usual commercials were replaced by government messaging. The artists who participated on these shows received "V-for-Victory" silver pins.

Initially Victory Parade served as the summer replacement for The Jack Benny Program. In July, it began airing a half-hour earlier, in The Great Gildersleeve's usual timeslot. This move made room for the new summer series The Remarkable Miss Tuttle, starring Edna May Oliver. Lionel Barrymore was the host of Victory Parade, serving as the "Voice of the Government". The series ran for twelve weeks.
