                            OLD TIME RADIO CHAT
                               on the Internet

Thursdays, 8PM EST, on IRC (Internet Relay Chat), for as long as anyone
lasts (about 2 hours usually).  After accessing IRC, choose a server for
[removed] (listed below), and type  /join #OTR  and you'll be there.

Talk about whatever comes to [removed] tapes, ask questions about
actors, announcers, shows, etc., talk to the people who worked in radio at
that time, find out where to get copies of shows, and which Internet sources
have the most to offer, etc.

West Coasters, we know it is a little early, but come in when you can!

I was wondering what the copyright status is of the Jack Benny Shows. I
would like to offer some of my collection to our local OTR-broadcasting
station here in Winnipeg to give them a little more variety. Can someone
let me know about copyrights and the Benny show? Thanks.

I saw mentioned here a while ago that someone was interested in
Christmas radio shows.

I have some Jack Benny's, a Fibber McGee and Molly, Dragnet, and Burns and
Allen.

I also have the Screen Directors Playhouse presentation of Miracle
on 34th street  and It's a Wonderful life.

Please Email me for details.

Hi Digesters:
Does anybody know the age of Jackie Kelk when he
played Jimmy Olsen on the Superman show in the 40s?
I'm impressed by his acting and was wondering if he was
actually a kid, or an adult playing a kid.

Hello everyone

I've been to the OTR Humungous Data Search Engine, but could find now trace
of an OTR episode narrated by Boris Karloff, called "The Hound."  My cousin
vividly remembers it as a very, very scary story.  He thinks he heard it on
CBC (that's the Canadian public radio station, for all you gentle folks
south of the border).  Has anyone heard of this story? I'm looking to all
you experts for this one.

Thank you kindly

Dean Allchin
