Our new distribution Channel. Classic Radio Theater features great radio programs that warmed the hearts of millions for the better part of the 20th century. Host Wyatt Cox brings the best of radio classics back to life with both the passion of a long time (as in more than half a century) fan and the heart of a forty year news man. But more than just “playing the hits”, Wyatt supplements the first hour of each day’s show with historical information on the day and date in history including audio that takes you back to World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. FDR, Eisenhower, JFK, Reagan, Carter, Nixon, LBJ. It’s a true slice of life from not just radio’s past, but America’s past.
Wyatt produces 21 hours a week of freshly minted Classic Radio Theater presentations each week, and each day’s broadcast is timely and entertaining!Copyright Wyatt Cox

    Then The final weekly Jack Benny program, originally broadcast May 22, 1955, 70 years ago, Trouble with Twombly. Jack is having trouble with Twombley, the sound effects man. Eugene Twombley was really the name of one of the sound effects men on the program, but Mel Blanc plays the part. The last show of the season, the series and the last regularly scheduled weekly Jack Benny radio show, except for repeats. A funny and touching last show. No mention is made that this is the end of the series, primarily because nobody knew it was! American Tobacco Company didn’t make the announcement until the final show had aired. The cast discusses plans for the summer. The two CBS telephone operators appear. The Sportsmen sing the commercial to the tune of, "Bye Bye Baby" (called "Bye, Bye Benny"). More on the ending of the radio show here. https://tralfaz.blogspot.com/2013/04/leaving-behind-radio.html
