This Is Edward R. Murrow is a poignant tribute broadcast by CBS Radio Network following the passing of the legendary journalist Edward R. Murrow on April 27, 1965. Narrated by Robert Trout, this program reflects on Murrow's significant contributions to broadcast journalism.

Edward R. Murrow, born Egbert Roscoe Murrow, rose to prominence during World War II with live radio broadcasts from Europe. He is celebrated as one of the architects of U.S. broadcast news, particularly during the 1930s to the 1950s, a time when radio was the dominant medium.

Murrow's legacy includes his courageous stance against political oppression, notably his powerful anti-McCarthy broadcast in March 1954 on See It Now, which played a crucial role in the censure of Senator Joseph McCarthy.
