    I recall the press referring to the leadership of Senator Everett
    Dirkson and Representative Charles Hallack as the "Ev and Charlie
    Show," not necessarily referring to any specific broadcast.

    After the 1964 election, the Republicans started doing a reply to the
    President's State of the Union and other major addresses, and that
    was done by the Republican House and Senate leaders.  But when the
    new Congress convened in 1965, Gerald Ford defeated Hallack for the
    Republican leadership in the House.  I recall reading newspaper
    columns at that time referring to the "Ev and Jerry Show."

    You Bet Your life WAS a radio show.  It started that way in 1947.  It
    didn't become a television show until 1950.  It was always more than
    just the sound track of the TV show.  George Fenneman would start the
    radio show telling the audience what the secret word was (since they
    couldn't read the duck's sign), Groucho would say "Really?"  And
    George would say, "You Bet Your Life."  Groucho sometimes did
    separate commercials for the radio show, too.

    I was unaware that the I Love Lucy sound track was ever on radio, but
    it wouldn't surprise me.

    The only problem with this is that the Cincy's dealer's room is small,
    and tables sell out quickly.  It's not that other vendors are trying to
    avoid the cost of a table, it's that there are no tables available to
    them to rent.

    Well, as anyone in Southern California could tell you
    (and many probably will) KFWB was (and is?) quite real
    and was at the time owned by Warner Brothers.
    Eventually, it came under the ownership of
    Crowell-Collier, publisher of Collier's magazine,
    along with stations KDWB in Minneapolis and KEWB,
    Oakland-San Francisco, the station I listened to in
    high school. I still recall Gary Owens on that station
    with his "insult thy neighbor" bit in which he urged
    listeners to put their radios in an open window and
    turn up the volume, at which time he would shout funny
    derogatory remarks about the neighbor. Of course, at
    that time, it was all very clean and innocent. I
    shudder to think what would come out if someone did
    that bit today.

    Subject:  Re: Joe Palooka radio show

    I hate to pick on Joe Mackay and his Those Were the  Days weekly feature;
    however his comment about the Joe Palooka radio show is  incorrect.  The comic
    strip came first, starting up in April of 1930.   The radio show which
    premiered
    in 1932 was a direct result of the comic strip's  nationwide popularity (and
    the promotional efforts of its creator, Ham  Fisher).  The first of a long
    series of Joe Palooka films was issued in  1934.  The radio show apparently
    did
    not have such universal appeal;  enduring only as a summer series that left
    the
    air in late August 1932.
        I have been puzzled about that for a long  time.  Why would a comic strip
    as popular as Joe Palooka be able to make it  in the movies covering several
    decades (including some truly awful films), and  as a syndicated TV series,
    yet not make a success as a radio show.  To the  best of my knowledge only
    this
    1932 effort was ever tried on radio.   Anybody know if there are any of those
    programs are out there for   collectors to hear?

    KFWB went on the air in 1925, and one of it's founders was Sam Warner,

    In the 60s KFWB was one of the leading rock & roll stations.  Today it

    Subject:  Nonsense and Melody and Transcription Collection Questions

    I've been a very active record collector for many years and recently
    decided to combine it with my interest in OTR, obtaining a Transcriptor II
    turntable and seeking out transcription discs.

    I've managed to pick up a few things on ebay and find some locally through
    Craigslist, concentrating on more obscure or esoteric material.  I have a
    few questions for others on the list that might collect the discs.

    First off, does anyone have info about a mid-1930s syndicated show called
    "Nonsense and Melody"?  I picked up ten discs (20 shows) in this series on
    ebay and have enjoyed them a great deal.  It's basically a 15 minute
    comedy variety show that takes place on a cruise ship - it features snappy
    patter and popular tunes typical of Depression era radio.  Most of the
    discs are red vinyl repressings from Broadcaster's Program Syndicate, but
    one was an original shellac pressing from Transco.  Were they still
    syndicating this thing in the 40s?  It would seem to sound very dated by
    then.

    I'm also wondering about a few general questions about collecting these
    types of discs:

    -For those of you that have a larger collection, do you have a system for
    arranging them?  It seems tougher than arranging an lp collection that can
    be sorted by artist or a similar system.

    -Do AFRS discs always sound so dreadful?  I know they did disc dubbing in
    order to edit the shows, but even with compensating for the EQ curves in
    different ways, it seems like most of these sound very compressed.

    -Is it common to run into several shows from a single AFRS series?  Has
    anyone gotten a substantial run or complete set of an AFRS show?

    -I'm particularly interested in non-circulating or less well known
    syndicated shows or public service programs with historical interest.
    (One set I ran into, for example, is an interesting piece on polio
    research.)  Do you think there would be interest among OTR enthusiasts if
    I posted the shows on a blog or other outlet?

    Martin Grams asked if KFWB was a real station.  Indeed, it WAS a real Radio
    station, owned by Warner Brothers.  To quote Wikipedia:

    "The station's history goes back to 1925 when it was launched by Sam Warner,
    the founder of Warner Brothers. The station launched the careers of such
    stars as Ronald Reagan and Bing Crosby. The station was the first to
    broadcast the annual Rose Parade in Pasadena, California."

    Hi, everybody!

    To answer Martin Grams' question about the radio station featured in the
    band remote from the film "The Bride Came [removed]", YES, KFWB was a real
    radio station, which was founded by the Warner Brothers Motion Picture
    Studio in Hollywood at their original Sunset Blvd. location on March 4,
    1925.  In 1929, the station relocated to Hollywood Blvd after the studio
    moved to its new studio site in Burbank.

    Warner Brothers owned KFWB from 1925 until they sold it around 1951. The
    call letters were not chosen to stand for anything in particular, but by
    coincidence, the movie studio was assigned the call letters KFWB in
    sequential order. Stations in 1925 were given call letters that started in
    the west with KF, and the WB just happend to come up.  Later, the studio
    probably took advantage of this luck and said the WB stood for Warner
    [removed]'ve seen other stories that said the calls stood for "Keep
    Filming, Warner Brothers" or for the "Four Warner Brothers", but I've never
    seen any concrete evidence that this was the case.

    KFWB is still on the air in Los Angeles today after 83 years and has been
    broadacsting an all-news format since 1968.

    I know that from time to time, Warner Brothers put their radio station into
    certain movies, and the KFWB microphone even turned up in some of the old
    1930s Porky Pig cartoons and maybe other Warner Bros. cartoons.

    By the way, also inside the Hollywood Blvd. building where KFWB studios were
    in the 1930s and '40s was the Warners' Theater, owned by the [removed]

    the premiere of "Dames" with Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler, with KFWB
    microphones at the opening of the movie at the Warners Theatre.

    Here's a true story.  A former KFWB news reporter who recently died wrote in
    [removed] about 5 years ago, that he was once covering a press party in
    Hollywood in the early [removed] owner/founder Jack Warner, who was then
    near the end of his life, walked past Gary [removed] then saw the KFWB
    microphone flag, went up to Gary and said, "Hey.  You're from KFWB!  We used
    to own you guys!!"  And Warner then walked away from him.  I wrote a long
    piece on KFWB's history in 2005 for LARADIO, and the station had a very
    interesting history while owned by the movie studio.

    Actually, it comes from the Latin "fenestratus" which refers to openings
    or colloquially "windows."

    "Defenestrate" is a colloquially used word and is legitimate - meaning
    to "eject from a window."

    While I found the Radio Lab WOTW interesting, I got a little upset with
    the somewhat flip way they treated the subject. I tried to realize they
    had to appeal to possibly a non-otr group to hold interest, but both the
    host (can't recall his name) and Robert Krolwich (spelling?) got on my
    nerves occasionally.

    Larry Moore asked about the word "defenestrate". He has probably
    received many responses to this already, but I'll chime in. I learned
    this word in the 7th grade in French class, and it's stuck with me ever
    since. (Our French teacher also taught Latin.) The Latin word for
    window is, more or less, fenestre (or something similar). (The French
    word for window is "fenetre," if I'm remembering correctly.) To
    defenestrate oneself means to throw oneself out the window (de = out of
    + fenestrate = window). The noun form is "defenestration." (Which, to
    bring in another radio connection, was the opening word once on the
    long-running BBC radio series "My Word." I have that episode
    someplace.)

    I'll join in the flood of replies: KFWB Los Angeles
    did indeed exist - and it was owned by Warner Bros.!
    The station, I believe, was housed at Warner's Sunset
    Boulevard lot (as was the Leon Schlesinger Cartoon
    Studio) and remained there even after the Brothers
    Warner relocated to Burbank.  The "FWB" stood for
    "Frequency Warner Brothers."  When Warner's got out of
    the radio business, the station was sold to
    Westinghouse Broadcasting - who clearly saw no need to
    change the call letters!

    You'll see KFWB mentioned in many Warner movies of the
    '30's and '40's - including the Looney Tunes.

    Martin Grams asked if KFWB was a real radio station and if there was

    In a [removed] yes and yes. KFWB was started in the mid 1920's by Sam
    Warner and the FWB in the call letters were used to indicate the Four
    Warner Brothers. The transmitter and broadcast studios were actually
    located on the Warner Brothers lot in the very beginning but were
    moved early on. The station has changed ownership many times over the
    years but has remained a well known southern California radio voice at
    980 kz for many years. It is currently a CBS radio affiliate with an
    all news format. Their web page is a good online news source.
