1939 CBS aired The Adventures of Ellery Queen for the first time. An
interesting twist came near the end of the program when the show was
stopped to allow a panel of experts to guess the solution of the night's
mystery.
1961 Gunsmoke was broadcast for the last time on CBS. The show had
been on for nine years. It was called the first adult Western. The star
of Gunsmoke was William Conrad.
6/19
1934 The [removed] Congress established the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). The task of the commission was to regulate radio
broadcasting.

1933 The Pepper Pot program welcomed a new host. Don McNeill took over
the show and renamed it The Breakfast Club. The show, a huge success for
the NBC Blue and later, ABC, became one of the longest running radio
programs in history. The show aired with McNeill as host until December
27, 1968. The Breakfast Club was a morning show that had its share of
corny jokes, visiting celebrities and lots of audience participation.
1941 Front Page Farrell was heard for the first time on Mutual. In
1942 the program moved to NBC and stayed on the air until 1954. Sally
and David Farrell were the central characters.
1947 Wendy Warren and the News debuted on CBS. The broadcasts
continued until 1958. No, the program was not a newscast, in the
traditional sense. It was a serial, one of many of the time. The unique
thing about this particular show, however, was that Wendy Warren and the
News did utilize a real three minute newscast to open the show. The
newscaster, delivering the news as part of the show, chose not to stay
in the entertainment side of radio, but continued to be a true
journalist and a legend at CBS. That newsman was Douglas Edwards.
6/24
1960 The Romance of Helen Trent was heard for the last time. Helen and
her boy toy, Gil Whitney, were about to be married, but the loving
couple never made it to the altar just in case the show would ever be
renewed. Helen Trent and her romance aired for 27 years a total of
7,222 episodes on the CBS.

Episode 257
AN EDDIE HUBBARD SPECIAL: JUNE SONGS ENCORE FOR FATHER'S DAY
Time to celebrate the month of June again with performances by Jimmy
Dorsey, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Marty Robbins, the Four Lads, the
Brothers Four, and the Erskine Hawkins orchestra. Eddie Hubbard's June
Special has all of those performers and more on this undated special
episode from Eddie's private collection, and, of course, songs relate to
romance, weddings, graduation, or simply summer fun and memories -
memories close to every dad's heart every day and especially every
FATHER'S DAY!
The Jimmy Dorsey band does "Give Me a June Night," Bing sings "The
Wiffenpoof Song," Frank performs "Love and Marriage," Marty sings "A
White Sport Coat and a Pink Carnation," the Lads do "Moments to
Remember," the Brothers contribute "The Green Leaves of Summer," and
Erskine Hawkins and his band add "Tuxedo Junction."
Additional June tunes include ("The Wedding Song (There Is Love)" by
Noel Paul Stookey, "White Silver Sand" by Don Rondo, "Roses Are Red, My
Love" by Bobby Vinton, and "Save the Last Dance for Me" by Ben E. King
and the Drifters.
So to sum up this Eddie Hubbard Special, in short, "June Is Bustin' Out
All Over" -- a song from "Carousel" -- and, appropriately, it's that
great tune by Rogers and Hammerstein that opens the show. "Junction,"
composed in 1940 by Hawkins, Bill Johnson, and Buddy Feyne, closes the
show with the great Wilbur Bascomb's "delicate but swinging trumpet"
solo that helped make it the band's best hit and its theme song -- not
to mention the fact that carefree high-school grads danced to the song
at proms all across the [removed], especially after Glenn Miller's
legendary slower version hit the juke boxes. As the Brothers Four sang
in "The Green Leaves of Summer," "Twas so good to be young then."

Simon's THE BIG BANDS with a foreword by Frank Sinatra.]
