     From Those Were The Days

    8/9

    1942   CBS debuted Our Secret Weapon. The program featured Rex Stout,
    who countered lies being broadcast by the Axis powers through shortwave
    radio.

    8/11

    1909    The international distress call, SOS, which replaced CQD (All
    stations distress!), was first used by an American ship "The Arapahoe"
    (out of Cape Hatteras, NC) on this day.

    8/12

    1937   Comedian Red Skelton got his first taste of network radio as he
    appeared on the Rudy Vallee Show on NBC.

    8/13

    1912   St. Joseph's College in Philadelphia, PA was granted the first
    experimental radio license by the [removed] Department of Commerce.

    8/14

    1933   WLW in Cincinnati, OH premiered Ma Perkins. Just four months
    later, Ma moved to WMAQ in Chicago and was heard over the entire NBC
    network. Virginia Payne was 23 years old when she started in the title
    role. Ma Perkins operated a lumberyard in Rushville Center. Her children
    were Evey, Fay and John (who was killed in the war). One of the other
    characters in the show was Shuffle Shober. Virginia Payne played Ma
    Perkins for 27 years and 7,065 episodes.

    1942   Garry Moore hosted a new program on NBC. The Show Without a Name
    was an effort to crack the morning show dominance of Arthur Godfrey
    (CBS) and Don McNeil's Breakfast Club (ABC). A prize of $500 was offered
    to name the show and Someone came up with the title, Everything Goes.

    1945   CBS began the series, Columbia Presents Corwin. Orson Welles did
    a special reading about the fall of Japan, titled, Fourteen August.

    SAME TIME, SAME STATION

      We spend a lot of the program talking about, and playing episodes from
    "Superman". We begin by playing an excerpt from THE FRED ALLEN SHOW
    of 10-09-1940 as he interviews Jerry Siegel who wrote dialogue for
    Superman in the early days of the Superman Comics.

    Next we interview Michael J. Hayde, author of the excellent book called:
    "Flights Of Fantasy" the unauthorized but true story of Radio And TV's
    Adventures Of Superman.

    We next hear a 15 minute adventure of SUPERMAN
    from 12-03-45 called "Atom Man In Metropolis"
    Mason Adams is excellent as the man called Henry Miller, or "Atom Man",
    the arch enemy of Superman.

    Next we hear June Foray in a show that centers around emergency aid and
    the Red Cross, called, YOU WERE THERE
    It is from 02-12-56 and is called, Reunion in Venice.

    We had some other plans for the remainder of the program but after
    reading of the death of Mitch Miller, we decided to play an program in
    which he interviews guests on his CBS radio show from New York. This
    example is from 07-15-61. Miller chats with Jonathan Winters.
