     From Those Were The Days

    11/29

    1950   "I Fly Anything", starring singer Dick Haymes in the role of
    cargo pilot Dockery Crane, premiered on ABC. With a title like that, is
    it any wonder the show only lasted one season? Haymes went back to
    singing and did very well, thank you.

    11/30

    1940   Lucille Ball and Cuban musician Desi Arnaz were married.

    12/2

    1932   The Adventures of Charlie Chan was first heard on the NBC Blue
    network.

    12/3

    1928   The first broadcast of The Voice of Firestone was heard. The
    program aired each Monday evening at 8. The Voice of Firestone became a
    hallmark in radio broadcasting. It kept its same night, time (in 1931
    the start time changed to 8:30) and sponsor for its entire run.
    Beginning on September 5, 1949, the program of classical and
    semiclassical music was also seen on television.

    12/4

    1932   "Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. North and South America and all the
    ships at sea. Let's go to press!" The Jergens Journal aka The Walter
    Winchell Show and later, Kaiser Frazer News was first heard on the NBC
    Blue network. Winchell kept that gossip show going on the radio for 23
    years. It was sponsored at first by Jergens lotion and, later, by Dryad
    deodorant, Kaiser Frazer cars and Richard Hudnut shampoo.

    1933   One of America's great radio shows made the leap to the big time.
    Ma Perkins moved from WLW in Cincinnati, OH to the NBC Red network. The
    show proved to be so popular that it was later carried on both CBS and NBC.

    12/5

    1936   Bing Crosby took over as host of The Kraft Music Hall. Jimmy
    Dorsey (who would later be host, himself) led the Kraft Orchestra.

    1952   Mutual broadcast The Green Hornet for the final time. The show
    left the air after 15 years on Mutual, NBC and ABC.
