Thanks Neil, but I think there was too much brandy in your Christmas pudding if you think your last two suggestions meet the requirements of an "entrada académica" or the period in question. :( Anyway, take it easy and have a great 2019!

"Rotativa" is literally a "rotary printing press". Without further context to guide us, my initial assumption is that it is used here as a metaphor (metonymy?) for "news services"... Which means you could conceivably translate it as:
"Stop press/latest news/hot poop/the skinny on the airwaves"
of the airwaves

Almost... just wanted to get the ball rolling really. I could ask the same about "mimeograph"...

Discussion
“Tarde o temprano, su radio será un Philips”; “la rotativa del aire”; “el medio de comunicación instantáneo”; “el dial de máxima difusión”; “la radio está más cerca de la gente”; “donde se hace deporte, ahí está Ovación”. Estos y otros eslóganes publicitaban la variedad de formatos y programas, la amplia cobertura, los matices expresivos y la creatividad narrativa como estrategias sonoras para interpelar y competir por los radioescuchas en Estados Unidos, Centro y Sudamérica.
