 From Those Were The Days

2/19

1922   Ed Wynn became the first big name vaudeville talent to sign on as
a radio talent. Previously, top talent had not considered radio a
respectable medium.

2/22

1954   ABC radio's popular Breakfast Club, program with longtime host,
Don McNeill, was simulcast on TV beginning this day. The telecast of the
show was a bomb, but the radio program went on as one of the longest
running programs on the air.  (I saw a kinoscope of that show and
basically it was the radio show with a camera pointed at the cast.
Hmmm, come to think of it, it wasn't much different from today's video
podcasts. --ed)

2/23

1927   [removed] President Calvin Coolidge signed a bill into law that
created the Federal Radio Commission, "to bring order out of this
terrible chaos." The president was speaking, of course, of the nation's
then unregulated radio stations. The commission assigned frequencies,
hours of operation and power allocations for radio broadcasters across

(FCC) on July 1, 1934.

Subject:  Bill Stern

Can anyone help me locate a story (broadcast date) told by
Bill Stern on his Colgate Sports Newsreel? I'm trying to
find it for a friend who says it changed his outlook on
life. As best recalled it involved a young man on the
Columbia University football team who really wasn't much of

with his dying father ... he was back in time for the game
and asked to be put in ... the coach refused at first but
boy persisted and the coach finally relented ... the boy
made some big plays and Columbia won the game ... the boy
tells his coach the reason he wanted in the game was that
his late father, who was blind, was whole again and at last
could see him play.

Any help would be appreciated.
