Nick and Linda asked:

When did the C in CBS change from Columbia, to Central?

 It never did. It is still The Columbia Broadcasting System.

Now. My question. In OTR, how did networks carry sustaining shows? Can  you
imagine CBS, NBC, ABC, or any other network carrying programming today
without
at least a half dozen sponsors?

Does anyone know of the existence of any radio interviews with Harry
Houdini.  I seem to remember hearing a recording many years ago.

XM radio is fine for an average listener of OTR.

Subject:  How to dispose of OTR colection

I met Ed about 12 years ago out side of a shop that sold and/or rented Tapes
of OTR in Barrington, Illinois. We started talking and that lead to trading
radio shows. Well 2 years ago Ed had stroke and recovered, be he has lost
all interest in collecting. Besides OTR he collected Stamps, Coins, Big
Little Books, Comic Books, Magazines ( Look, Saturday Evening Post, Popular
Science to name a few) and Videos of Old movies. He has no idea of have many
cassette he has. Has no computer to store his info,

Ed's otr cassettes collection is very large my guess maybe 40,000 or more,
and that's only my guess. I think he copied most of SPERDVAC 's lending
library. His goal was to get complete run of programs like Suspense, Escape,
Lux, Gunsmoke etc.

He lives in ranch house with a full basement and most of is take up by his
collections. His wife wants to clear it out.

Stamps and Coins are no problem, but who wants a large collection on
cassette these days? How do dispose of a man's collection of 30 years, rent
a dumpster and junk it?  How do you put a price on an otr collection. Any
suggestions. I know that at 76 I, or my wife, will be facing the same
dilemma some day, but I ain't not done yet.

Subject:  Orphan Anne question

To anyone in-the-know,

Recently, I listened to two "Zero Hour" programs ... the one aired on
8/9/1945 (3 days after Hiroshima bombing, same day as Nagasaki bombing)
and one aired on 8/11/1945.  In the first show, Orphan Anne didn't make
a vocal appearance until about 20 minutes into the show.  Was this woman
Iva Toguri or a last minute "stand-in" for her?  Or, did they have the
ability to rebroadcast a transcription of an earlier broadcast ...
making it seem like Iva Toguri was on the air when she was elsewhere?
Most of the announcing on that show (high on music, low on propaganda)
was done by a man.  And, as I understand it, it was around that time
when Ms. Toguri "took a powder" to marry a Portuguese man and NHK didn't
know where she was.

It's interesting to listen to those two shows ... not saying a word
about either the Hiroshima or Nagasaki bombings, as if they'd never
happened.  Sometimes, it isn't what you hear in a broadcast that is
"telling" ... but what you *don't* hear.  Heavy on music, light on
propaganda, making it seem like the status quo was unfettered in Japan.

Regards,
J. Alec

Subject:  One Out Of Seven - KGO

Michael Berger has asked :

Came across a new, to me, show called One Out of
Seven. Produced in the late 1940s by KGO, the ABC
affiliate in San Francisco with Jack Webb narrating,.....
Anyone know anything more about this show?

I know a little but not too much.  The show did originate from KGO in
San Francisco for ABC affiliates on the west coast where Jack Webb was
a staff announcer. It was sustained and ran only a short time from
February 6 to March 20, 1946.  If these dates are correct this would
have been a total of seven broadcasts, four of which are in general
circulation. The title was supposedly derived from "one story out of
the past seven days worthy of retelling".  Webb did all the
voices/dialects, announcing was by John Galbraith, scripts were by
James Moser with music by Otto Clair. It was directed by Gil Doud
(better known later for co-scripting The Voyage of The Scarlet Queen
and The Adventures of Sam Spade with Bob Tallman). The short lived 15
minute weekly series went after bigotry and intolerance in a hard
hitting , what some might say, snide manner. Powerful stuff for it's
day and age. The shows in circulation that I'm aware of are:

2-6-46  Senator Theodore Bilbo

2-27-46  Brotherhood Week

3-13-46  Third World War

3-20-46  Anti-Negro South

There are at least four episodes of "One out of seven" starring Jack Webb,
doing all the voices, in circulation.  A very powerful program that was
aired on the west coast on ABC.  I don't think the rest of us could have
heard it -- until now.  I have four episodes and Charlie Summers put them on
one of his "Support the Old Time Radio Digest" CDs.

Charlie, maybe you can comment on whether or not this excellent CD is still
