On Easter Sunday, 1939, a sunrise Easter service was held at the Hollywood Bowl and carried live over the Mutual Broadcasting System. The photo here (presumably of the 1938 service) appeared in the April 15, 1939, issue of Radio Guide.  The magazine noted that Mutual would carry not only the service from the Hollywood Bowl, but also from Mt. Rubidoux in Riverside, Cal., and from the steps of the state capitol in Olympia, Wash.

Was it a morning like this?
