Here in Huntington, WV our first station went on the air in 1924.  The 
call letters were "WSAZ" which some station wags dubbed the "Worst 
Station from A to Z".  :)

 Well, you're right. The problem isn't your system. Also, you must
have been a very good boy last year. Santa was awfully nice to you.
Ooops sorry, that was the jealous side of me speaking. I wish that I could
comment on the real audio capabilities. However my type of Internet
connection right now (TIA) precludes my trying it out. Alas.
 Have you mentioned the sound quality to the Real Audio folks ? This
technology will get nothing but better (I hope) and they are a leader
in the field.

Hi All,

I got a BBC series named "Pay Any Price", a really great spy thriller in
10 half-hour episodes and a BBC science fiction named "Caves of Steel", a
1 hour Issaic Asimov story. Does anyone know broadcast dates for these?
"Pay Any Price" takes place after JFK's assination and "Caves" was done
sometime in June of 1989. That's all I know. (Both are really excellent
dramas!)

Hi All,
 
I sent out my Richard Diamond log in two parts. Part one made it into 
volume 96, issue 15.  I assumed part two made it in issue 16. Well, it
didn't, as I found out when I got that issue today (thanks, Bill, for 
sending it).  It may have gotten dumped because it was too big.  Just
in case, I've cut it in 2 parts, A and B.  So, here is part 2A.

Subject: La Tremenda Corte, a Pre-Castro Cuban Radio Program
Message-Id: <m0tawWo-0000IbC@[removed]>

Does anybody know about radio in Latin America?  From listening to 
reruns 
of LA TREMENDA CORTE, it seems that the radio era extended well into 
the 
50s.  I wrote some Cuban usenet groups, and the mention of it brought 
back many warm memories.  It is still in reruns in Tijuana, Miami, and 
probably in many other places.  I listen on XRCN, which is in Tijuana.
    XRCN runs radio programs from 9 am to 130pm.  One of them, PORFIRIO 

CADENA is said to be a new series about Mexican rural life.
     I recommend finding LA TREMENDA CORTE (THE TREMENDOUS COURT)  Sort 

of a forerunner to NIGHT COURT, it features the same cast every 
program. 
At the end of almost every program, Jose Candelario Tres Patines, gets 
thrown in jail.  It is a great comedy, rife with puns and gags.
    After Castro came to power, the stars fled, and it had a second 
life 
on Mexican Television

******************* End of Forwarded Message *******************
Actually, the "radio era" continues in much of Latin America. Many 
stations here carry several hours of radio drama a day--mostly 
radionovelas or soap operas. I have also heard comedy shows and on the 
weekends, especially from some of the more rural or small-town 
stations, live music programs with an audience. When I visited Radio 
Cusco in Peru a year or so ago they showed me their auditorium which is 
designed for their live Saturday night broadcast. 
     Here in Quito there are two organizations devoted to the 
preservation, promotion and production of quality drama, especially in 
the form of soap operas. They maintain that if drama is relevant to 
people's lives now, it will be popular and commercially viable. They do 
a good job with it. --Ken MacHarg

In my last post re: the Lone Ranger article  for the printed OTR Digest, I
neglected to refer to flyer enclosed for the 10th Annual Cincinnati OTR
Convention coming up 4/12-13/96.

The 10th Annual convention has more guests than ever.  I was at the very
FIRST convention and this fun-filled event has come a LONG way in 10 years.
Featured guests:
FRED FOY - Announcer from the Lone Ranger
PARLEY BAER - Gunsmoke's Chester
PEG LYNCH - Ethel & Albert
BARNEY BECK - sound effects artist from the Shadow, Superman, Bob & Ray, Nick
Carter.

If you've been to the Newark events, these names are all familiar friends.

Like Newark, another one on the main attractions is the plethora
(cornicopia!) of vendors with OTR-related tapes, videos, books and related
items for sale.  

Last year, a lot of us from this list met for the first time.  I'm looking
forward to meeting more of you, so make your plans now!  There really are
genuine people (humans even) behind the thousands of comments you read here.

Needless to say, if you can make it, don't miss it.  Admission is only $[removed]
a day.  Location is the Marriott Inn in (near) [removed] info:
 Bob Burchett, 10280 Gunpowder Rd., Florence, KY 41042.  Phone is (606)

Someone asked when Remember WENN would be on AMC.  It seems it will
be on Wednesday at [removed] PM EST, and repeated early Thursday ([removed],
or so).  This Wednesday's (17 Jan) will be a repeat of the first
episode; I have no details of what will be on for the rest of the
month.  There will be two back-to-back episodes on 30 Jan, along
with a full day of shows starring old time radio folk.  This was
mentioned a few digests ago.

FWIW, I enjoyed the show.  I only saw the first episode, but I
have the second on tape, and I'm looking forward to finding a few 
uninterrupted minutes when I can catch it.
