==Broadcasts== The Chicago Symphony first broadcast on the radio in 1925. Though often sporadic, there have been broadcasts ever since. With the 1965β1966 season, Chicago radio station WFMT began regular [[Broadcast delay|tape-delayed]] stereo broadcasts of CSO concerts, running through the 1968β1969 season. They resumed from 1976 through the 2000β2001 season before ceasing due to lack of sponsorship. In 2007, the broadcasts once again resumed with a 52-week series. The broadcasts were originally sponsored by [[BP]] and air on 98.7 [[WFMT]] in Chicago and the [[WFMT]] Radio Network. They consist of 39 weeks of recordings of live concerts, as well as highlights from the CSO's vast discography.<ref name="2007Recordings">{{cite press release| title= Chicago Symphony Orchestra Announces Major Radio and Recording Initiatives|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130209034238/http://www.wfmt.com/main.taf?p=7,4,1,1,1,13|url-status=dead| publisher=Chicago Symphony Orchestra| date=November 30, 2006| access-date= September 18, 2013| url=http://www.wfmt.com/main.taf?p=7,4,1,1,1,13| archive-date=February 9, 2013 }}</ref> The CSO appeared in a series of telecasts on [[WGN-TV]], beginning in 1953. The early 1960s saw the videotaped telecast series ''[[Music from Chicago]]'', conducted by Fritz Reiner and guest conductors including [[Arthur Fiedler]], [[George Szell]], [[Pierre Monteux]], and [[Charles Munch (conductor)|Charles Munch]]. Many of these televised concerts, from 1953 to 1963, have since been released to DVD by [[Video Artists International]]. Sir [[Georg Solti]] also conducted a series of concerts with the Chicago Symphony that were recorded for the European firm Unitel and were broadcast in the 1970s on [[PBS]]. They have subsequently been reissued by Decca Video on DVD.
