    Subject:  New Broadcast Log Available - The Line Up
    X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: from multipart/alternative
    X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was text/plain

    My series broadcast log on THE LINE UP is the result of extensive research
    carried out over a period of several years.  The research on this series
    included identifying, acquiring, viewing and/or listening to a variety of
    Primary Sources (scripts and network documents, broadcasts, and interviews)
    and many Secondary Sources (newspaper daily radio programming listings and
    notes, trade magazine articles, and books on Old-Time Radio.)  The broadcast
    log contains much new information about the series and corrects much
    misinformation that has been in the Old-Time Radio community for many years.
    I identified, acquired, and listened to all 73 episodes of the series that are
    currently available.  I also acquired and listened to interviews of one of the
    series' primary writers and others who participated in the series.

    In
    mid-March, 2013, I traveled to an archive where those printed Primary Sources
    for THE LINE UP reside.  This archive only allows on-site access to their
    collections and usually does not allow photocopying of scripts and other
    documents.  I spent five days at the archive looking at all of the scripts and
    extensive CBS and other documentation (approximately 5,000 pages) for THE LINE
    UP that reside there.

    To the best of my knowledge, I am the only researcher
    who has actually gone to the archive and actually viewed the scripts and CBS
    and other documentation on THE LINE UP.

    The log for THE LINE UP can be found
    in Adobe Acrobat PDF format at:

    An article on THE LINE UP will be appearing in an upcoming issue of the
    SPERDVAC RADIOGRAM, the newsletter of the Society to Preserve and Encourage
    Radio Drama Variety and Comedy.  This article includes much new information on
    THE LINE UP that will be incorporated at a later date into my broadcast log.

    Just watched the 1945 version of Brewster's Millions on Netflix. Eddie
    Anderson's character is named Jackson. Is that a nod to Jack Benny,
    Anderson's longtime radio employer, anyone know?

    Subject:  Honoring Art Hellyer on Those Were the Days

    This Saturday, "Those Were the Days" celebrates the 90th birthday of a
    legendary Chicago broadcaster, the great Art Hellyer, as we devote our show
    to "Art Hellyer and the Other Madmen of Radio." We'll present a conversation
    we recorded with Art Hellyer at his home last year, and we'll hear some
    samples of the groundbreaking (for the time) wackiness that made him one of
    the city's top-rated personalities. We'll also hear from some other radio
    madmen, Bob Arbogast and Bob and Ray.

    "Those Were the Days" airs every Saturday from 1-5 pm CST on WDCB ([removed] FM in
    Chicagoland, [removed] everywhere).

    Subject:  MANC hotel

    The hotel where MANC (the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention) is held has 450
    rooms reserved each night at a discounted convention rate. They were sold out
    as early as May. Some people have been able to find ways and means of getting
    the convention rate through third party venues. The other day the hotel
    opened up an additional 50 rooms at the discounted convention rate --
    something they did not have to do. If you have not booked your room yet, use
    the enclosed link to book your room now. They are available first come, first
    serve.

    If you have made a reservation and it is more than the convention rate, book
    your room through this link and then cancel your old reservation. If you made
    a reservation through a third party venue (which means you did not call the
    hotel direct), let me know as we get credited for every room booked as a
    result of the convention and unless they specified the convention rate, the
    hotel does not know you came because of the event.

    We have more old-time radio events this year than ever before. There will be
    three radio recreations (one is a recreation of the only "lost" NERO WOLFE
    episode with Sydney Greenstreet). Jack French of the Metro Washington OTR
    Club will discuss "The FBI on the Airwaves," John Abbott will discuss YOURS
    TRULY, JOHNNY DOLLAR, Michael Hayde will talk about Hank Williams on radio,
    Brace Beemer's grandson will present exclusive footage from his up-coming
    documentary about THE LONE RANGER, Sally Stephens will have a fascinating
    slide show presentation about Gracie Allen ad her 1940 run for President, and
    so on. [removed]
