You really should check out the three hours of "Same Time, Same Station"
=46ibber McGee & Molly, which not only has classic examples of their show,
but an extremely interesting and informative interview with Jim Jordan. A
truly super series on many aspects of =D8TR.

The Radio Archive is still awaiting its new equipment and I will be
informing everyone when we are up and running again - also the WWW pages
will undergo an overhaul.

In the meantime, anyone want to add anything to the "History of
Broadcasting" section, pass on your suggestions and information.

In response to a question about Teeny on Fibber McGee and Molly, Alan
Chapman noted: 

>Notice that the scenes with Teeny are always with Fibber, never with
>Molly.

I used to believe that, too.  In fact I even wrote that in a recent article
for Radio World newspaper.  But just the other night I listened to a Fibber
McGee broadcast in which Molly, Teeny and Fibber all appeared together in
the same scene.  So although as a general rule it was true that Molly and
Teeny didn't appear together on the program, occasionally that rule was
broken and they did!

Just one more of those oldies, but goodies who remembers first hand 
the eeriest Suspense, the "creaking door", Hennnnn--ry,  Henry 
Aldritch!, Life with Luigi, galloping with the Lone Ranger, Cocoa 
Wheats and Let's Pretend every Saturday morning, and everything else 
magic about radio during the late 40's thru the 50's.  I fell with in 
love with Richard Diamond and Sam Spade (and sang the Wildroot Cream 
Oil, Charlie song).  I'm divorced, past 50, am a visual illustrator 
with the [removed] division of a manufacturing firm.  Lux Theatre brings 
back so many memories of Monday night and learning the appreciate 
"good" music by listening the Longine Witnaur Hour that followed.  I 
like to collect and listen to OTR as well as trying to match Lux 
Theatre shows with the matching real old time movie ([removed] The Thin 
Man and Take a Letter, Darling)  I even appreciate the quality of the 
commericals and how well they have stood the test of time.  Listening 
to the Jack Benny Jell-o sponsored shows, I want those flavors---and 
yes I do buy LUX soap, the beauty bar of the stars.  Isn't it fun!

Thanx for the moment, Peggy

When I work at NBC in the 60s The Eternal Light was still in production. I
used to sometimes talk with Jerry Damon, the show's announcer, about the
production. How to phrase [removed] production, for all of the networks,
marked the end of the contiguous chain of radio drama production that we
think of as "old time radio." Or, to phrase it differently, all other drama
had ceased production leaving only The Eternal Light in full production.
(Then the chain broke.) 

The program did not emanate from Radio City. Instead, it was produced across
the street, at the Music Hall, in one of their private studios, and fed back
by phone line. Possibly the Music Hall had better produciton facilities
because the 5th Floor in the RCA Building had been renovated to accommodate
programs such as Monitor, the WNBC's talk format and news.
