An Interesting Slice of The last Days of Radio
radiorick62
This is an interesting piece of what was to be the end of the days of the era of radio for entertainment because more people were turning to television and radio would soon be changing to music and news. By late 1950's this station would be making the change to a music format itself so this collection is a good piece of radio history.
