    I've been listening to a few Fred Allen shows lately and there's a question
    that has always bothered me. Maybe I just don't understand how the ratings
    worked back in the day. But if I recall correctly, Allen's show received very
    good ratings for several years, up until its legendary drop opposite Stop the
    Music. My question maybe is twofold: First, is the story really that simple
    or were there multiple factors that led to his quick ratings decline? Second,
    if the show was so popular for so long, why wouldn't the network simply move
    it to another time where it faced less competition and could hold on to more
    of its audience? I'd like to hear more from the Allen experts on the

    Damon,

    Thanks for the pointers to the OTR stations on iTunes I hadn't thought to
    look for them there. Cool! I really appreciate you sharing that.

    Radiolab has done a piece on Candid Camera. At the beginning there is a
    fair amount of time devoted to Funt's experience in the AFRS and the
    development of Candid Microphone. It's presented in an entertaining way.
