The station is unidentified in the story, but that comes in the comments.

I was game to hear the podcast until I realized it was another lifeless AI voice over. Good for them, meh to the VO.

"Anyone familiar with the author knows it's pronounced "Albere Cam-moo," since he was from France. And he's pretty famous, so there's no reason to get that wrong unless the writer and announcer had no idea who he was."

After a couple of listens, I want to think this voice over is an AI creation...and the name "Cam-ooo" is not in it's audio file. Hence, the dumbing down of communication and information continues in 'Murica.

Turkeytop, it must be Saskatchewan winter skip. Doing over night at 13CJME Regina in winter 75, I got a QSL card from a listener in Finland,even down to describing a break I did on the show he caught DXing. 

One question. What ever happened to the lauded Frasier re-boot ?  


 

Joined and signed in. Best of luck with the new forum,Brian. It will be nice to read some radio news  from elsewhere.

Elwy hosted a serialized a CBC afternoon movie show aimed at a younger audience in the early sixties ,but the name of it escapes me. M-F, he'd intro and briefly background a classic  b/w horror or adventure film from the early thirties. He introduced me to The Claude Raines version of the Invisble Man, Karloff.s Frankenstein, Wolfman,the original The Phantom.of the Opera and others. 
 

Looking at late night, it's hard to believe your grandpa was that hip, kids.... but Saturday Night Live has been on the air for what soon will be 46 seasons with the same format and  original producer.

CNN ran some rather unusual ads this past week. One was a primetime evangelical begathon. I could have sworn I was watching Crossroads instead of the election coverage.A lenghty, flat-out begathon for support, funds and " offerings" for the Billy Graham Jr. Ministries. Another was a blatant right wing wacko rant (think: Guns,God,and that horrid Comrade Biden and his henchmen) about saving the GOP's "stolen" election. I understand CNN might need the ad money...but these two spots stuck out like sore thumbs among the medicine and insurance ads.
 

I empathize with that family. We have been in our condo apartment for six years,and the family below us has been in theirs for at least ten. We occasionly hear a faint broadcast feed of some sort, coming thru the wall in our bedroom. The couple downstairs say they have no tv or radio playing,but they have heard it too. We have checked piping,wiring,framing and all..still no answer. Weird.

 

The Burns and Allen shows were a goldmine when I needed vintage material for a nightly big band nostalgia show. Gracie could always be counted on for some very funny (and out there) bits . She would have been a star in any era...With Bea B on the staircase...off the hook!
