     From Those Were The Days

    6/7

    1945   The NBC program The Adventures of Topper was heard for the first
    time.

    1955   NBC presented The Lux Radio Theatre for the final time. The
    program had aired for 21 years.

    6/8

    1942   The comic soap opera Clara, Lu 'n Em was revived on CBS (the
    original show began in 1931 on NBC). Clara, Lu and Em were together
    again for just a short while before vanishing into radio oblivion.

    1947   Lassie debuted on ABC. It was a 15 minute show about an
    extraordinary collie. Animal imitator, Earl Keen provided the whines and
    other dog noises. The announcer was Charles Lyon; Marvin Miller and
    Betty Arnold played Lassie's owners. The sponsor was Red Heart dog food.

    6/10

     From [removed]

    1909   An SOS signal is transmitted for the first time in an emergency
    when the Cunard liner SS Slavonia is wrecked off the Azores.

     From Those Were The Days

    1924   The first political convention on radio was presented.  Graham
    McNamee provided coverage of the Republican National Convention from
    Cleveland, OH.

    6/12

    1947   Sergeant Preston of The Yukon went national for the first time.
    The show, with the Canadian Mountie and his trusty dog, King, continued
    on the radio until 1955, beginning on WXYZ Detroit in 1938. Sgt. Preston
    was created by George W. Trendle and Fran Striker, who also created The
    Lone Ranger and The Green Hornet.

    1955   The first network radio show to be produced with no script, The
    University of Chicago Round Table, was heard for the final time on NBC.
    The program was the first network radio program to win the coveted
    George Foster Peabody Award.

    1955   "This is Monitor, a weekend program service of NBC Radio," was
    heard for the first time. Notables such as Bill Cullen, Ed McMahon, Hugh
    Downs, and Dave Garroway recited this line. It was a network cue to NBC
    radio stations across the nation who carried the long form news,
    entertainment and variety broadcast from New York City. Stations and
    listeners who were "on the Monitor beacon" were entertained for six
    hours or more each Saturday and Sunday night for nearly two decades.
    NBC's Monitor was one of the last live network radio programs on the air.

    6/13

    1944   The wire recorder was patented by Marvin Camras.

    Hi Everybody,

    I learned last night from my co-host Patricia that Ruth Duskin pass away on
    May 15th.  We have lost three Quiz Kids so far this year.  Take care,

    Walden
