Editing Texaco (section)

===Entertainment broadcast (music or comedy/variety)===
Texaco was long associated with the [[Metropolitan Opera]] as sole sponsor of its radio broadcasts for 63 years. It was identified as well with such entertainment legends as [[Ed Wynn]], [[Fred Allen]] and [[Milton Berle]] (many of their shows were originally sponsored by Texaco – see [[Texaco Star Theatre]], which includes the sponsorship lyrics of the opening theme: "We're the men of Texaco, We work from Maine to Mexico..."). Berle's program was broadcast in the same time slot as [[Fulton J. Sheen]]'s religious program for a while, thus leading to Berle's oft-quoted quip, "We both have the same boss – Sky Chief!"{{citation needed|date=March 2021}}

Texaco was also the sponsor of the weekly [[Metropolitan Opera radio broadcasts]], which air to this day since its inception in 1931.

In the 1930s, comedian [[Ed Wynn]] hosted a half hour stand-up comedy/variety show on the [[NBC]] Radio Network, billed as "The Texaco Fire Chief", a reference to its regular grade gasoline. This trend continued into the late 1940s, when Wynn was replaced by [[Milton Berle]] as television becoming the dominant medium. The title was changed to the 60-minute ''[[Texaco Star Theater]]'', which was also broadcast on NBC.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Cross |first1=Mary |title=A Century of American Icons: 100 Products and Slogans from the 20th-Century Consumer Culture |date=2002 |publisher=Greenwood Press |isbn=978-0313314810  |access-date=4 September 2020 |url=https://archive.org/details/centuryofamerica00cros/page/109/ |pages=109–110}}</ref>
