I tape offthe air long periods of time by taking the receiver audio =
output into the video tape recorder audio input. Mine is HiFi & has a =
defeat switch forthe AGC, which is important for me as I tape a lot of =
classical music. Near CD-audio quality. I do have to leave my receiver =
on, or a portable radio in the case of AM as my portable has less noise =
than the cheapo AM section of my expensive Yamaha [removed]

Total run time is 8 hours with the longest tape. Note: My Panasonic VCR =
has a switch to route external audio in. I leave it in the middle =
position where the video from some  broadcast channel is received to =
maintain signal stability. I just ignorethepicture later if the TV set =
is even turned on. Switch it back when you're done taping so you dont =
tape a TV program off the air only to find you have no audio!

Have I posted this message previously?

     Show Description:

     RADIO CITY PLAYHOUSE premered July 3, 1948 and ran until it's last
     curtain call on January 1, 1950.  This was a short-lived but solid
     drama series that frequently compared favorably with SUSPENSE drama.
     Some scripts for the series were written by Ray Bradbury (for 
     example, "The Wind"), Steven Vincent Benet and Cornell Woolrich.  
     Frequent appearences were made by John Larkin and Jan Minor in major
     roles.  Narration was by Fred Collins and Bob Warren.


     List Comments:

     This series is not well covered by the various vendors and clubs
     with the exception of NARA and AVPRO.  Since show titles are given
     at the show's opening, they match easily from source to source.
     Also, the show was referred to in the opening by "Attraction
Number".
     This should help identify the number but few catalogs showed them.
     I've only included them when they appeared in a catalog.
 
     The first show was on a Saturday and the series appears to have 
     switched twice.  There were a couple of dates that may be in error,
     especially those that occur on odd days.

     I've placed a string of question marks for dates I don't have shows.

     Show Description:

     FRONTIER TOWN was a syndicated Western that ran through the 1952-
     1953 season.  The main character, lawyer Chad Remington, was played
     by Jeff Chandler for the first 23 shows.  For the remainder of the
     shows, the role was played by Reed Hadley.


     List Comments:

     No catalog showed broadcast dates, most likely because this was a
     syndicated show and actual broadcast dates vary.  A few showed 
     episode numbers.  Titles varied from catalog to catalog.  The Radio
     Memories catalog had a full run and listed episode numbers, making
     the list possible.  I've used their listing as the main one, placing
     alternate titles below.

     Those shows whose titles that had no episode numbers and could not 
     be matched with ones that did are listed after the last show.

Subject: One Man's Family Premiums
Message-ID: <[removed]@[removed]>

One Man's Family was the best soap opera on radio.  It can be said that it 
wasn't actually a soap opera, since it celebrated life, instead of preaching 
heart-break.  It was a family drama.

And OMF (as it is still fondly remembered) offered premiums.  Not the metal 
rings and decoders of kids shows.  These were books.  Mostly softbound, 
although a few were hardbound.  All featured an assortment of photographs of 
the actors made up "in character."  And text, recipes, etc.

I have scanned in some photos of these OMF premiums from my collection, and 
they can be viewed on my web pages:

[removed]~jrolsen/[removed]

There are five different premiums, ranging from a 1934 scrapbook to a 1953 
giveaway.  The 1934 scrapbook is not listed in Tomart's Guide, and I would 
appreciate it if anyone has further information about it.

It is also interesting to note that Carlton E. Morse's other famous radio 
show, "I Love A Mystery" apparently had no premiums offered.  At least, none 
that I have heard about.  ILAM seems to be a natural for a sponsor's premium 
offer.  Does anyone know why none were offered?

  One thing I can recall from several years ago,was a weekend series on NBC
called MONITER. It was during this series that episodes of programs like
Fibber McGhee and Molly were often presented.
  What used to bug me (and still does) was the noisy interlude on Moniter
that featured something like electronic beeps that were made to produce
