Hello, again,
I've been absent from the digest for a while. As it is with many of us "more
mature" OTR collectors, I've been "cleaning house"(and garage) of parts of
our stuff we no longer "need".
I have about 200 reel tapes that we played on "The Big Broadcast" on KPFK
back
between 1977 and 1982. These are the actual "air tapes" (with my theme,
intros
and out-tros) that were aired back then. They 're mostly 7" reels (some
10").
They're yours for $ [removed] each (plus shipping). If you're in the Southern
Calif. area,
you can pick them up and save the shipping!
Contact me at iairotr@[removed] or snail mail me at: BOBB LYNES, BOX 561,
SOUTH PASADENA, CA 91031
End of commercial. Thanx, Charlie!

From Those Were The Days
6/23
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.
6/25
1942 The first broadcast of It Pays to Be Ignorant was aired on WOR
and the Mutual Broadcasting System.
6/26
1933 The Kraft Music Hall debuted.
1949 Fred Allen had his final program, though he continued for several
years to guest on other shows.
6/27
1943 The Dreft Star Playhouse debuted on NBC. Jane Wyman (the former
Mrs. Ronald Reagan) starred in the first broadcast, titled Bachelor Mother.
1944 The Alan Young Show debuted on NBC. It was a summer replacement
for the popular Eddie Cantor. The show became a regular in the fall NBC
lineup.
