Subject:  #OldRadio IRC Chat this Thursday Night!

A weekly [removed]

For the best in OTR Chat, join IRC (Internet Relay Chat), StarLink-IRC
Network, the channel name is #OldRadio.  We meet Thursdays at 8 PM Eastern
and go on, and on! The oldest OTR Chat Channel, it has been in existence
over nine years, same time, same channel! Started by Lois Culver, widow
of actor Howard Culver, this is the place to be on Thursday night for
real-time OTR talk!

Our "regulars" include OTR actors, soundmen, collectors, listeners, and
others interested in enjoying OTR from points all over the world. Discussions
range from favorite shows to almost anything else under the sun (sometimes
it's hard for us to stay on-topic)...but even if it isn't always focused,
it's always a good time!

For more info, contact charlie@[removed]. We hope to see you there, this
week and every week!

Subject:  Cleveland Broadcast Museum Opens
X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: from multipart/alternative
X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was text/plain

I received the following notice today?from SABR (Society for American
Baseball Research):

"On June 14th, 2008, the Baseball Heritage Museum in downtown Cleveland is
proud to announce the opening of a brand new Broadcast Museum on June 14th,
2008 from 11 AM to 4 PM.

The event will take place with a "Media Day" and is opened? to the public as
well. The two museums are located in the Colonial Marketplace Arcade Building
at 530 Euclid Avenue . (Due to construction on Euclid-enter on?the Prospect
Ave. side since Euclid is closed).

The museum will feature an early baseball broadcast? booth, a 1950's radio
studio, and a vintage family room with a working Philco? radio to show the
public how the broadcast went from the ballpark to the studio?and to your
home.

Also included is a 1960's and 70's studio, a vintage transmitter room, a
early newsroom with working UPI teletype machine, a tribute? area to the
Thundering Buzzard (a?Cleveland radio?station, I believe) from the 1970's,
and lots of tee-shirts, banners,? posters, photos fill the walls of this new
museum.

On opening? day, John Gorman will be signing and selling his new Buzzard
Book, and Murray Saul will be on hand selling his CD. Also George Shuba will
be there with a? photo display of photos he shot for WHK and the Beatles,
WIXY concerts, and WKYC? photos, and these will also be on sale to the public.

We are? expecting a ton of Northeast area radio personalities and news people
from our? past. Along with live coverage on WKYC TV 3 News that morning. This
all ties in with the Baseball Heritage Museum and is free to the public.

Some of the special guest include Ted Hallaman, Ted Alexander, Billy Bass,
Larry?Morrow, John Webster, Ken Courtright, Bill Gordon, Jim Syzmanski, Bill
Ward,? Scott Howitt, Ravenna Maceli, Candy Lee Korn, Joe Mosbrook, Tim
Phillips, Freddie James, Mary Holt-first African/American woman DJ in
Cleveland for WJW/WJMO, Joyce Halasa, Suzy Peters, Carl Reese along with many
others. Plus the? 1948 Indians game will be broadcast through the museum wall
speakers with Mel Allen calling the game.

There is also a special photo section in honor of Cleveland 's first
African/American DJ?"Walkin' Talkin' Bill Hawkins. Hope to see?you there -
"Baseball and Broadcasting - What a Tradition".

Subject:  Bra Ads

     Regarding bra ads on radio, when I first started collecting I found some
very fragmentary music programs (home recordings) sponsored by Formfit. They
were from the same year, l947.

     Sincerely,

     George Wagner

Just read Bennett Cerf making fun of Serutan:

Radio circles are agog with the rumour that the manufacturers of Serutan
are planning a new program to be heard every Tuesday from 9:30 to 9:00.

Subject:  How firm a foundation!

From: rand@[removed]

In all my years of collecting and  listing to
radio shows, I can't think of any other advertising ladies  undergarments.

Dear Randy-

Well, on a related front, Bill Stern was noted for sporting a supporter -
er, "supporting sports" - for years!
(Couldn't resist that old Don Martin gag; mayhap Derek will appreciate  [removed])

But seriously, Randy - thanks for the work you do at your site. I was able
to furnish a copy of your LOST SPECIAL to Eminent Sherlockian, and Estimable
FOTRian, Bill Nadel, who was very interested to hear it.

Best,
-Craig W.

Recently, I listened to the Suspense show "Banquo's Chair."  There is no such
chair mentioned in the show and the show has nothing to do with MacBeth or
Scotland.  There is also no character named Banquo in the show.  Does anybody
know to what the title refers?  Thanks

In digest #146 Gary Shultz asked about a log of Our
Miss Brooks programs.  The OTTR log site lists 373

    Total Number of Programs: 387
    Total Possible Episodes:  375       Missing
Programs: 252     Total Programs in Collection: 135"

Hope this is what you want, Gary.
