    Joe Postove asked: "My question is what did CBS program in the Benny slot
    between 5/22/55 and
    the return of reruns on 10/28/56?" and?"OK, last question? Was the Jack Benny
    radio program ever syndicated
    nationally?"

    It's late and I'm too tired to check but wasn't THE STAN FREBERG SHOW the
    initial replacement for THE JACK BENNY SHOW before the reruns?

    As to whether Jack's show in reruns was ever syndicated nationally, if you
    really mean EVER, then the answer is yes. I heard an episode on the air
    locally just last week! (Missed it yesterday).

    I can answer most of this question.  I just got through checking the NY
    Times radio schedules for the periods in question;

    Before reruns return on 10/28/56

    May 29, 1955 - Sep 18, 1955:  Juke Box Jury

    Sep 25, 1955 - Jan 8, 1956:  Larry Le Sueur

    Jan 15, 1956 - July 1, 1956:  7:00 news report -  7:05 Edgar Bergen

    July 8, 1956 - Sep 30, 1956:  7:00 news report - 7:05 Mitch Miller Show

    Oct 7, 1956 - Oct 21, 1956:  Our Miss Brooks

    After Benny reruns ended 6/22/1958 [NY Times schedule still lists Benny on
    6/29/1958]

    July 6, 1958 - Nov 16, 1958:  7:00 News 7:05 Frontier Gentleman

    Nov 23, 1958 - Jan 4, 1959: 7:00 News 7:05 Indictment

    I stopped at Jan 4, 1959 - listings become harder to find

    Subject:  long live Charles Stumpf

    I just learned today that my old friend, Charles Stumpf, died late last
    month. I was shocked and sorry to hear this. He was 79, and contributed a Lot
    to the wealth of radio knowledge, especially Fibber McGee. His Heavenly Days
    is still the best on the subject, I think. He'll be missed. He gave me a lot
    of encouragement early on when I started BearManor Media. We had a lot of
    talks on the phone, and I visited him eagerly in Hazleton, PA, where he has
    died. I'm sorry I don't have family contact to give out to those of you who
    want to send them good wishes, but say a prayer for him, and remember him.

    Joe Postove posts:

    Would you believe it was Peter Potter's Juke Box Jury?  It ran for an hour
    at 7 o'clock starting 5/29/55 (thanks once more to JJ's radio log website),
    although at some point it was shortened to a half-hour at 7:30 and replaced
    by Our Miss Brooks, still airing at 7 up until the Benny reruns began
    10/28/56.

    Frontier Gentleman replaced Benny effective 7/6/58.  Within a short while it
    was reduced to a 25-minute feature at 7:05, preceded by five minutes Richard
    C. Hottelet's news and commentary, a kind of trending at CBS in that epoch.

    Finally, our pal Joe observes:

>     I'm also curious as
>     to how long CBS continued to program that hallowed half hour.

    It appears that CBS continued to offer a lineup of programming through the
    weekend following "the day radio drama died" Nov. 25, 1960.  That weekend,
    Nov. 26-27, the net banished more of the final vestiges of its longstanding
    features to the Valhalla of Relics.  On Sunday, Dec. 4, 1960, most of the
    hour that had -- a week before -- been filled by Mitch Miller was returned
    to local stations for their own DJs, news, sports and other entertainment.
    If we didn't know by then that something dreadful had happened, the
    transfusion was almost enough to kill us.

>     Was the Jack Benny radio program ever syndicated nationally?

    I can't be sure about that, Joe, but certainly Laura Leff can.

    Subject:  Lone Ranger recordings

    I am presently compiling a list of the "official" lost episodes of THE LONE
    RANGER radio program for a number of web-sites. The following is a list of
    recordings I presently "classify" as lost. If anyone has any of these, can
    they please drop me a line?

    Two notes: 1. This is just a partial list of what I am seeking for the
    purpose of (hopefully) scratching them off the list so please don't accept
    the list below as the complete "lost" list. I'll post that shortly. 2. if you
    do have any of these episodes, I will need a copy to listen to for
    verification. Any format will do. Way too many episodes have been floating
    about in circulation with the incorrect titles and airdates, which is why I
    need to hear them to verify.

    Subject:  phil, and alice

    Listened to the tail end of a Phil Harris/Alice Faye episode on Sirius
    radio today, and what I heard of it was one of the funniest episodes I have
    ever  heard from that show. The date of the episode was sometime in October,
    1950, and  besides the usual star's, Sidney Sheldon was in the cast playing
    his usual great  shyster bit. It was when the program was without a sponsor,
    and evidently they  were in the negotiating phase with RCA at the time. I got
    home, and immediately  logged onto my computer looking for that episode,
    and lo, and behold. It is no  where to be found. I checked all of my usual
    reliable sources, and nothing. I  Googled the Phil, and Alice show, and found
    the program on a CD set from Radio  Spirits.

    My Question is. Does Radio Spirits own that complete block of Phil, and
    Alice show's, because there are very few 1950 episodes available any place
    that  I could fine. It seems that period when they returned form summer
    vacation, and  were sustained while in the negotiations with RCA, that those
    shows
    for the most  part just are not available any place except at Radio Spirits.

    Does anyone know why this is?
