 From Those Were The Days

11/25

1920   The first play by play coverage of a football game was broadcast
by WTAW in College Station, TX. Texas University beat the Aggies of
Texas A&M, 7-3.

1944   CBS presented The FBI in Peace and War for the first time. It
became one of the longest running crime shows on radio lasting 14 years.

1945   A spoof of the Gilbert and Sullivan classic, [removed] Pinafore, was
broadcast on The Fred Allen Show. The spoof was titled, The Brooklyn
Pinafore. Joining actress Shirley Booth in the skit was baseball great
Leo 'The Lip' Durocher.

1960   Radio actors were put out of work when CBS axed five serials
(soap operas) from the airwaves. We said so long to The Second Mrs.
Burton (after 14 years), Young Doctor Malone, Whispering Streets (after
8 years), Right to Happiness (after 21 years) and Ma Perkins (after 27
wonderful years.) In 1940, the high point for these radio programs,
there were as many as 45 on the air each day!

11/26

1945   Bride and Groom, debuted on the NBC Blue network. It is estimated
that 1,000 newly wed couples were interviewed on the program before it
left the airwaves in 1950.

11/27

1930   Broadcasting from "...the little theatre off Times Square,"
according to the show's introduction, The First Nighter was first heard.
The program, which actually originated from Chicago, then from
Hollywood, aired for 23 years and featured dramas and comedies.

11/28

1932   Groucho Marx performed on radio for the first time.

11/29

1950   "I Fly Anything", starring singer Dick Haymes in the role of
cargo pilot Dockery Crane, premiered on ABC. With a title like that, is
it any wonder the show only lasted one season? Haymes went back to
singing and did very well, thank you.

11/30

1940   Lucille Ball and Cuban musician Desi Arnaz were married.
