Hi there

I currently own a lot of radio shows on CD, mainly The Shadow, and the
Smithonian Collection, a collection from Adventures in Cassettes.  I only
have one thing to say, I WANT [removed] Ok, three words.  Why dont many of the
companies that deal in radio shows want to put them on CD.  I know the sound
quality does not measure up to the CD's ability, but the archive ability of
them makes them ideal.  Also, can anyone provide me with info on the
convention in Ohio in April.

thanks

Message-id: <[removed]@[removed]>

Serendipitously less than one hour ago I ran across a local station 
playing WRW.  I had been listening to All Things Considered and changed 
to AM for the simucast local tv news.  Well, that station was playing the 
high school basketball game, which are in championship.  I went to 
another station that simlucasts another local tv news show, only to find 
Johnny Dollar playing.  At first I thought was one of those "recyled" 
commericals that plays bits and pieces of old shows, but it was actually 
WRW.  Needless to say I was thrilled, and am writting the station 
management to thank them.  No more drift and static attempting to pick up 
WMAQ.  

Whoever is keeping a list of WRW stations (Lou?) it is WTCR, 1420 AM, from 
Cattlesburg, KY.  A powerful C&W stations (I never paid attention before, 
not being a C&W fan).  The show runs from 5-6 [removed]

   Two current subjects (the Red Scare and forgotten actors) made me wonder
what happened to Bert Gordon (The Mad Russian on Eddie Cantor) after the
anti-communist furor put his career in the dumper. Anybody know?

For those of you who are interested in seeing photographs of some rare old Captain Midnight 
premiums, visit this URL:

[removed]~jrolsen/[removed]

There you will see photos of a 1949 Key-O-Matic Code-O-Graph, a 1955-56 SQ "Plane Puzzle" 
Decoder, and a 1943 Insignia Shoulder Patch.

It is interesting to note that during the war years, metal of all sorts was in short 
supply.  Thus, Ovaltine stopped making metal decoders as premiums, and switched to cloth 
insignias and patches.

The above three items are all from my personal collection.

"Forecast" ran on the CBS network during the summer of both 1940 and 1941,
replacing the Lux Radio Theater. The formatr was unusual. All the programs
were bascially "pilots' and the premis was that if there was enough listener
response, the shows could be resurrected in regular time slots during the
fall. 
Duffy's Tavern, which was auditioned on a 1940 programs was perhaps the lone
summer hit and was placed on the 1940-41 fall schedule.
Suspense was not really Suspense as we came to know it two years later.
Instead of the "Man in Black" there was Alfred Hitchcock introducing the
programs. That was also on the 1940 schedule. 
In 1941, the Forecast program was 60 minutes long, and in many cases
previewed two different programs.  Among the cast of characters that fall
were Marlene Dietric as the narrator in "1001 Nights", Adolph Menjou playing
a detective, Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne in a program called "Three
Wishes", Bill Boyd (Hoppy?) in "Class of '43" and Tony Martin in a comedy
program called "Search for a Sponsor."

Message-Id: <[removed]@[removed]>

I recently had gotten access to YUSA with Real Audio 1,  and enjoyed 
listening even though the quality was much to be desired.  Well,  it 
was only a few days of enjoyment for me,  because it looks like 
they've graduated to Real Audio 2 which now blocks me out of it,  I 
don't have a 28000 modem!!!! just a [removed]

Well so much ofor that!

Can anyone give me feed back on Real Audio 2,  and how much better it 
is,  and is it worth the upgrade?

Also,  anyone out there know whether there are any other Internet 
radio stations that might broadcast old time radio,  asside from KUSF 
with Shoestring Theater  and the Austrailian Radio site with their 
recent addition?
