    Subject:  OTR on XM Satellite radio

    On Friday I picked up a new SRX that happens to be equipped with XM
    satellite radio. I'd always been rather ambivalent about satellite,
    surmising that it wasn't much better than over-the-air stations,
    whose programming is so homogenized and whose music playlights are
    not only repetitive but highly restrictive. But within two of minutes
    of driving off the car lot, I had my XM radio tuned in and now I am
    totally hooked. I was shocked by the diversity of music I began
    hearing for the first time in years!

    Tonight on the way home I was listening to some wonderful Big Band
    music on "40s on [channel] 4." I was surprised that at 7:30 [removed] they
    announced it was time for the Bing Crosby show! I felt like I was in
    a time-warp. Bing's show came through with good clarity and after I
    got home I sat in the driveway, kept the engine running, and listened
    to the show! (Considering it is only 25 degrees out tonight, that
    requires real dedication).

    Now I am wondering if any of the OTR Digest readers can tell me if
    there are other old-time radio shows on XM, and if so, when they can
    be heard and on what channels.

    XM is the most exciting thing to happen to radio in many a year, in
    my humble opinion! I swear I have nothing to do with that company; I
    am just so totally impressed by how much great old music and
    programming I'm hearing. It's just opened up a whole new world of
    listening opportunities. No kidding.

    Subject:  Radio about radio/Whistler

    Stuart Lubin asked about the Whistler show "Brief pause for murder."  The
    engineer records the annoouncer for playback while he is out murdering his
    wife.  The murderer wants the police to believe that his wife was murdered
    by the "whipcord strangler."  After husband kills her, he hears the radio
    report that "strangler" has been apprehended.  That leaves the only excuse
    being the ET that the engineer cuts to give him an alibi.  Engineer plays
    the disc -- and the needle gets [removed]!

    There are (at least) two versions of this Whistler program. One is dated
    9/11/49 and stars Frank Nelson and Bill Conrad, from CBS.  The other is
    dated 9/11/46 and was aired on WBBM, could have been their own production.
    I do not recognize the actors.  Sponsored by Meisterbau Beer.  I don't know
    if this went out over the CBS network or not.

    Subject:  Re: Bob Hope's 1st network appearance?

    I am not so sure that 1935 marked the first  appearance of Bob Hope on
    network radio.  I believe he appeared in some of  the comedy segments of the
    "Hollywood On the Air" radio show which ran on NBC in  1932.  This was an
    hour-long
    network program sponsored by RKO movie  studios, used to relentlessly promote
    its stable of stars and the RKO film  releases.  This show is most famous for
    one of the most successful  radio promotions in the history of early
    broadcasting, where they ran a serial  titled "The Phantom" in the 15 minute
    drama
    segment each week, then left  the serial unfinished and asked listeners to
    send in
    an ending.  The best  ending would be used when the serial was turned into a
    motion picture, and a  total of $6,000 in prizes would be awarded to the best
    entry writers.
        This managed to generate a lot of publicity so  that when "The Phantom of
    Crestwood" was released in October 1932 it had a  tremendous pre-sold
    audience and emerged as one of RKOs most successful films of  the year
    (generating
    over $1000,000 in revenues in the darkest year of the  depression).  Hollywood
    On the Air left the air in late 1933, presumably  having accomplished its
    primary mission.
        Again, I believe newspaper program listings  and mag write-ups stated
    that Bob Hope did some of the comedy segments of this  program in 1932.  Does
    anybody else have any info on this?

    I'm more familiar with the TV version of Dragnet, and there, they did
    sometimes do non-plot things for the sake of realism or color.  For
    an entire season, Frank Smith was studying to be a sergeant, and
    there were discussions between him and Friday about how much he was
    looking forward to Friday no longer outranking him.  At the the end
    of the last episode, he made sergeant.  And Friday made lieutenant.

    For the whole next season -- last season of the original series -- it
    was Lieutenant Friday and Sergeant Frank Smith.  But when the show
    returned in the 1960s, Friday was a sergeant again.

    Ernest Tubb became a member of the Grand Ole Opry in 1943, not 1950.

    Then, in 1947, he started the "Ernest Tubb Midnight Jamboree" over WSM from
    his record shop around the corner from the Opry. Opry fans would leave the
    Ryman Auditorium at the close of the show and clog Broadway to watch the
    "live" show from the record shop.

    The "Midnight Jamboree" is still a weekly post-Opry feature of WSM.   BILL

    Wall Street Journal drama critic Terry Teachout blogs about his love for the character Nero Wolf on his About Last Night arts blog today.

    Wonder if he's free in October to give a talk?

    Anyone know if any Nero Wolf radio actors are still with us?

    The quality of writing in radio, theater or film  is in inverse proportion to
    the number of cigarettes smoked.

    Subject:  Sen-Sen

    I was listening to a Jack Benny program (Dec 43)  where Jack gives
    Mary a box of candy, saying "There's over 100 pieces". When Mary
    unwraps it, it turns out to be a box of Sen-Sen. I got to wondering,
    how many people remember Sen-Sen. I meet with a group of former
    workers for breakfust once a month, I asked sereral of them if they
    remembered Sen -Sen.  None of them did.  How many in the digest remember them?

    With a little research I found their still available, Vermont Country
    Store sells them for $[removed] a box.
