Subject: Minnehan & Coppen questions
Message-ID: <951212201945_71330318@[removed]>

  First:  George Coppen asked about Gunsmoke (logs, etc.).  There is no
better source than a book by SuzAnne & Gabor Barabas.  The title is,
"Gunsmoke: A Complete History."  It covers both the radio and TV versions,
episode-by-episode, show content and casts.  It's published by McFarland,
phone number (910) 246-4460.
  Second:  Randy Minnehan wanted to know more about Fran Striker of Lone
Ranger writing fame.  Fran Striker, Jr. has attended the Newark FOTR
convention.  Address should be available from Jay [removed]@[removed]
 Fran, Jr. has written, or was writing, a book about the subject and he
likely can tell all you want to know.

Message-ID: <951212210129_71371517@[removed]>

This could be an extremely valuable bit of information for everyone truly
interested in Old Time radio.  This is an article that will appear in the
March/April issue of my newsletter, "Thrilling Days of Yesteryear."  I
welcome your comments and input.
                              "ANY SUGGESTIONS?
   For longer than any of us care to remember, we've been hearing that the
Golden Age of radio is a thing of the past - just a dim, distant memory, with
little or no chance of revival except for scattered pockets of programming in
various markets.
   Well, your editor and his partners simply do not believe that!  For a
considerable period of time, an attempt has been underway to raise a sizeable
amount of money in order to purchase several AM radio dstations for the sole
purpose of presenting full-time, old-time radio.
   An all-out effort has been made to put together a reasonable and
highly-detailed business plan.  We have worked closely with an experienced
station broker to identify possible properties in a variety of markets around
the nation.  We are up-to-date on what's available and the probable purchase
prices.  It appears that it would be possible for us to buy a flagship
station and up to three satellite properties with the lesser number of
dollars we've been seeking and up to six satellite operations with our
optimum amount.  That would afford the possibility of up to seven stations to
get us started and would also provide all the required monies for whatever
necessary upgrading of equipment, etc. and sufficient operating capital that
would be needed for successful operation.
   Naturally, the "success secret" of the project would lie in the sister
station broadcasting activities.  That's because all programming would
originate at the flagship station and would be fed to the others via
satellite.  Therefore, those three to six additional stations would have only
minor overhead expenses with staffs composed largely of those in sales and
board operators. The state of the art equipment that exists makes it quite
simple to function in that manner.  We would program at least eighteen hours
a day, with a full twenty-four hour log highly possible.  It would be made up
of all the shows we love from the Golden Age of Radio, interspersed with the
music of the era.  We also have projections of working with colleges and
universities through their drama, music, journalism and other other
departments to have students, for credit, write, produce and act in new
programming done in the fashion of what was so great from yesteryear.  This
would serve the dual purpose of providing some interesting new shows while
spurring enthusiasm of young people for the overall product we'd be offering.
   Eventually, we feel there is a tremendous possibility for syndicating our
programs to stations all around the nation.
   Use your imagination for a moment.  Think how nice it would be for you and
your family, friends, business associates and others to be able to once again
enjoy outstanding entertainment of the sort that barely exists in this day
and time.
   Yes, we know about copyrights, etc. and for the programs on which rights
are still held, we have allowed for lease costs in our business budget plan.
   How much, you ask?  The plan calls for a total of $8-million for the
smaller set-up (up to four stations) and $12-million for the added properties
(up to seven stations) and we're perfectly willing to let those with the
necessary cash own the lion's share of the company.  The fact of the matter
is, however, that venture capital simply doesn't grow on trees these days.
 We feel we've come close a couple of times, but thus far are still checking
on every aspect to see what to do or how to proceed.  That's where we'd like
your input concerning the proposal.  We're not asking for financial
involvement by you in any way, shape or form.  What we want are ideas or
contacts that would enable us to present our plan with all of its
ramifications to principals who either have or could raise the required funds
if the notion appeals to them.  Who do you know?  What do you know?
                               ANY SUGGESTIONS?"

Howdy, everybody.  I need all the information I can get on the follow-
ing shows:

Philo Vance
Shadow of Fu Manchu
Dark Venture
Hermit's Cave
Light's Out

By the way, has anyone ever listened to "Rogue's Gallery" with
Dick Powell?  Oh my God.  That has to be one of the worst shows
ever.  What the hell were they thinking about with having the guard-
ian angel in each episode?!?  That was like having Ace Ventura
show up in the middle of "Howard's End".  Anyway, thanks for the
help, all.
