From the read me file:

Broadcast Calendar is a calendar utility which displays Gregorian and Standard Broadcast calendars for any year between 1926 and 2076. It is intended to be placed in your Apple Menu Items folder for reference as you work. Weeks may be displayed beginning on Sunday or Monday, and the font, size and style of the displayed text may be adjusted to taste. All calendar types can be copied to the clipboard, printed, or saved to disk.

Compatibility:

The application does run under System 6, although it complains on startup about a lack of Apple Events. The application's windows are bigger than the standard Mac Plus / Mini vMac screen.

Trace the beginnings of jazz from the honky-tonks of New Orleans at the turn of the 20th century, to its golden age in Chicago, to the dance halls of New York City in the 1930s and 1940s decades when swing was king and the big band sound was all the rage. Follow the aggressive bebop sound of the 1940s, the cool jazz of the 1950s, and the soulful modern jazz introduced in the 1960s. (from the CD case).
