In searching around for more info on this special, I discovered they have a website tied to the documentary with hundreds of clips and interviews with some of the biggest names in Top 40 history. 

There are dozens of legendary jocks including Dan Ingram, Dick Biondi, Rick Dees, Shotgun Tom Kelly, Cousin Brucie, Joey Reynolds, Scott Muni, Norm N. Nite, Rick Shaw, Pat St. John, Scott Shannon, Dick Purtan, Les Marshak (who famously was called in the middle of the night when Roby Yonge was fired by WABC mid-show for taking phone calls on the "Paul is dead" rumours) and Charlie Tuna, who explains how he got his famous on-air moniker. 

And that's just a small list. Each one talks in brief clips about their time in radio and some bizarre things that happened along the way. Reynolds, for example, relates the story of how he cheated to win a radio announcer contest and his first ever "job," but was caught by the one thing he hadn't considered!

You can find them all and pick your fave at this page.

Airplay is on WNED 17.1, so not available on my Rogers Ignite. Too bad, I would have liked to see the documentary.

I get WNED channel 17 on my Rogers Ignite. I don't get channel 17.1, which I'm presuming is one of their HD tier stations. I've looked at all of June 1 and 2 for the program, on my Ignite guide, but it's not there. AFAIK, WNED is the only PBS station airing this documentary. I do get PBS Detroit and PBS Seattle. Searching online doesn't show any other PBS station. I'll keep looking as June 2 approaches just in case the guide is in error - which would be no surprise.

I just checked my DVR's TV guide, which is updated every Thursday, and this show is not listed as running at 2 AM on June 2nd, with alternate programming displayed instead. If you're seeing that, my best advice is to ignore it. 

This is from WNED-TV's own site and it seems clear when it's scheduled. So I have every hope that this listing is correct and whoever or whatever puts the info into my DVR got it wrong. I've set it to record manually pending any future updates.

I have this DVD. Became a member of WNED for a year back in 2008 to get it. Definitely not a waste of 90 minutes of your life. I also have the DVD  "Don't Touch That Dial: Great Moments In Buffalo Broadcasting" It was offered to ch 17 members in 2010.

I've watched the first 15 minutes of this and intend to get to the rest when there's time. What I've seen was terrific, although I'm not quite sure what's with that red tinge in all the interviews. Interesting choice. I looked for this online on the WNED site, but as expected, it's not there. 

By the way, there's an American Masters show debuting Friday night at 9 PM on one of the pioneers of rock and roll. It's called "Little Richard: The King & Queen of Rock." Watch the preview (with a VPN) here.

Alternate airdates in case you miss it:
Monday, June 05 12:00 am ET
Wednesday, June 07 12:30 pm ET
Sunday, June 11 10:00 pm ET

If you missed the American Masters special, it was quite good - and I'm not even a Little Richard fan. But the story of his early life and days as a musician getting started were undeniably fascinating. If you have a VPN, you can see it online - minus the pledge breaks! - here. 

And by the way, that special on the history of rock radio that started this thread was terrific. Sadly, it does not appear to be online anywhere and because it was made in 2010, it's a bit dated.

But with interviews with Casey Kasem, Murray The K, Dan Ingram, Jerry Blavat, Jocko Henderson, Cousin Brucie and even FM pioneer Tom Donahue, just to name a few, it almost doesn't matter. It covered everything from the beginnings of rock to Top 40 to FM progressive to disco and then the coming of satellite radio. It was a breezy and quick moving documentary and worth a watch. I hope they rerun it someday, so more people can see it.
