Announcement:
All Things Radio

Old-Time Radio

On Thursday, March 11, 2010, at 6:30 PM EST, the "All Things Radio” podcast
will be featured in The Fred Bertelsen Old Time Radio Room of
www.radiooutofthepast.org

“All Things Radio,” was the dream of Bill and Jennifer Sparks and began
early last year.  The 50 podcasts run thus far are available for download
from the "All Things Radio" folder at
www.legend-oldies.com

Averaging about an hour in length and at this time  anchored by Michael
Loft, each podcast features
1. Radio news from Jeff Bennett,
2. Format and call letter changes from Jennifer Sparks,
3. Airchecked samples of radio stations from Bill Sparks,
4. Profiles of broadcasters and podcast contributors from Walt Kramer,
5. And occasional historical features, such as the history of Detroit 's
WJR.
After each podcast, there's usually close to a half-hour available for an
informal chat about radio. Anyone who would normally come in for the 8 pm
Old Time Radio program is welcome to join us for the chat, which is usually
moderated by Marcia Moses. For that matter, all are welcome to come in at
6:30 pm EDT and make a night

Bill Sparks currently has three streaming radio channels on line. They
are:
1. The Legend, featuring oldies from the mid '50s to the mid '70s,
2. The Country Legend, featuring classic country music, and
3. Remember Radio, featuring old-time radio shows.
The three radio services operate 24/7, and links to them can be found
At: www.billsparks.org

Also available from www.billsparks.org are links to at least eight thousand
radio stations that stream their broadcasts on line.

>From another Bill Sparks web site, www.rememberradio.com, thousands of
old-time radio shows are available for purchase. Customers may either buy
programs on CDs, or purchase copies of shows that can be downloaded

Dear Old-Time Radio Fans,

I hope you are enjoying same Time Same Station hosted by John and Larry
Gassman.  Also, I enjoy listening to Jerry Haendiges and Radio Classics
which he sends to us each week.

I hope to get a copy of the event Sunday evening March 7 on: www.cotra.ca,
presented by Joy Jackson and Ron Aley.  They gave their impressions of the
Winter Olympics held in Vancouver, Canada.  When I receive it, I shall of
course share it with you.

Please urge your friends to subscribe to our OTR Discussion Group.  Just
have them write to me at: boacosta at pacbell.net and I'll make this happen.
Our host this week is John Beaulieu of "It Once Was Radio” and from
Townsend, Mass.  Let us see what he will be playing this coming Thursday.

Hi gang,

It's time for another What Once Was Radio.  We're just nine days away from
St. Patrick's day so I thought we would enjoy a couple of St. Patrick day
shows.  We will hear The Screen Guild Theater and Irish Eyes Are Smiling and
Dennis Day and the show:  "A Day in the Life of Dennis Day," of March 17,
1948 where he enters Mrs. Anderson's baby picture in a contest.  Join me
Thursday evening for these two fine shows from March 11th 1946 and March
17th 1948.

John Beaulieu
