     From Those Were The Days  --

    3/17

    1933   Comedian Phil Baker was heard on network radio for the first time
    when The Armour Jester was heard on the Blue network. Baker rapidly rose
    to the top of the radio ratings.

    3/18

    1940   Light of the World was first heard on NBC. The soap opera was
    unique in that it featured the Bible as the center of the story line.

    3/21

    1925   The voice of Lowell Thomas was first heard on radio. Thomas was
    heard talking about "Man's first flight around the world," on KDKA in
    Pittsburgh, PA.

    3/22

    1948   The Voice of Firestone was the first commercial radio program to
    be carried simultaneously on both AM and FM radio stations.

    Subject:  CBS RadioNews In General

    I could not agree more with Bob Cockrum's
    disappointing analysis of present-day "World News
    Round-up".  I missed the very short 70-year
    acknowledgement on my local CBS station, KNX, Los
    Angeles, but I managed to find it on KNX's website
    ([removed], click AUDIO, go to KNX On Demand,
    then to Notable News), and it probably was on CBS'
    website, as well.  Great to hear all those revered
    voices, even for a second, or so. Several years ago,
    no matter what I was doing or listening to in the car,
    on the hour I would turn to KNX for the network news.
    Not anymore.  KNX cuts it short.  If I can pull in
    both it and KCBS, San Francisco, I can then notice
    that, when KNX cuts it short, KCBS runs it for the
    full five minutes. I don't automatically go to KNX on
    the hour anymore.

    Also I want to note that SPERDVAC members do have access to the minutes of

    can begin to get them on the website an email to me requesting them will get

    Someone mention Vin Scully having no color person to help him with sports
    commentary, so here is a related happening.
    During the time I was the librarian at a state school, I knew Eddie Timanus.
    In case you might have missed Eddie, he was a contestant on Jeopardy in the
    1990s.  He won two cars and in excess of $60,000.   He was a five-time
    undefeated champion on this program. He assisted his father on a local
    Aberdeen radio station, KKAA, doing sports play-by-plays.  Eddie was the
    "color" sportscaster.  His father did the announcing, and Eddie added his
    comments. I think Eddie is still helping his father on an east coast radio
    station.

    Eddie is totally blind and attended the SD School for the Blind & Visually
    Impaired.

    There are about eight groups in the Chicago area under the Those Were The

    West Suburban group (to which I belong).  There is an external link but I've
    forgotten the URL.

    I know that there has been an independent group in the Chicago suburb of
    Riverside, but I don't know how one would get in touch with them.

    After being away from LA  for more than ten years I have decided I should go
    back to my vault in Burbank  and clear it out. I know I have forgotten some of
    the contents but I DO know  that I have an extensive collection of
    reel-to-reel tapes of OTR and will NOT be  wanting to bring them back to New
    York as I
    do NOT have a tape machine to play  them on and at any rate I am sure most of
    the shows have already been rescued  from obscurity by now, tho I am hoping I
    might find an lost SUSPENSE or two in  the collection.
    I got many of these shows from Skip Craig  back in my Hollywood days in 1970
    on and so I am hoping for a surprise or two,  but I am asking if anyone lives
    in that area and would like to accompany me to  the unearthing to see if
    there's anything they might want please contact me off  list and we can work
    out a
    meeting time and place.
    Onwards.

       I have been watching the Twilight Zone Complete Definitive Edition in
       order.  I watched the next episode Friday night and the episode was
       Static (it's about an old man in 1960 who hears radio shows from years
       before on an old radio).  What should happen, but I find out that the
       two radio shows Mr. Grams quotes are both in this episode.  I do not
       know the dates for them, but it might be helpful to others to know
       that the shows are supposed to be from 1940, because that is the year
       the old man wishes to return to.  Whether or not the producers of the
       Twilight Zone were set enough on accuracy to use only 1940 recordings
       is not something that I know.  Best of luck finding the answer to Mr.
       Gram's question.
