While a student at the State University College of new York in Oneonta
from 1966-1970, every classroom in every building had clocks that made
"adjustments" at the top of each [removed] the ones at college radio
WONY, where I spent a lot of time, of course! We were in "Old Main" on a
lower, much older part of the campus with studios that were built well
after the original clock system had been installed. When we moved in my
senior year to the "new" campus, on top of the hill, our studios were in
a formerly unused storage area in the basement of the Student Union,
where there were no clocks, requiring us to hang our own. Today, the
station is across from there (having been flooded out of the Student
Union!) in the basement of a former library where--once again--there
were no system-wide self-synching clocks! The entire campus had those
nifty clocks to make sure you were always on time for class, but the
radio station had NONE, and there was more than one hour when the news
did not start precisely on time! Memories of a very different type of
"Old TIME Radio."

I don't think the re-creation of the KDKA broadcast came from Hear It Now. I
have a copy of an old NPR story about Robert Conrad's garage (out of which
KDKA emerged) and the reporter said the re-creation was done in the 1930s,
pre-dating Hear It Now by at least 10 years.
