With host Covina Wright. A brief segment of a music show from the days
when the WABC call letters were actually assigned to the CBS-owned flagship
station in New York. The WABC we all know and love didn't come into
existence until the mid-1940s with the divestiture of the blue network by
NBC and the creation of the American Broadcasting Company. With the
emergence of a new network with the same initials as its flagship station,
CBS no longer wanted the WABC calls and adopted WCBS for 880 in New York.
With the WABC calls now available, ABC changed the calls of its flagship in
New York, WJZ, to WABC. This clip is nice because it ends with the
announcer stating that "this is the Columbia Broadcasting System" and then
giving the WABC calls. |

"Make Believe Ballroom" with Martin Block.
Mr. Block counts down the top 9 hits according to Cashbox Magazine.
I originally obtained a 10-minute scoped version of this with all of the
spots of Mr. Block plugging Del Monte canned vegetables and Liggett
& Myers Cigarettes intact but
all of the songs cut out. I went ahead and restored the aircheck
to its original length by reinserting all of the music. I think it turned out pretty well, though,
and what helped is the very high quality of the original, scoped
recording.

"Make Believe Ballroom" with Martin Block.
Mr. Block counts down the top 7 hits according to Cashbox Magazine.
There's also a wonderful period WABC station ID. Click
here to hear it. Mr. Block
spends lots of time plugging Chef Boy-Ar-Dee, Cadbury, Flako Pie Crust
Mix, and Howard Clothes. I originally obtained a 9-minute scoped
version of this with all of the spots intact but all the songs removed.
I've reinserted the music, and I think it sounds very good. Note that
Mr. Block apparently makes a mistake during the countdown. After
playing the #6 song ("I Got Stung," by Elvis Presley), he previews the next
song up, #5, which is to be "Beep, Beep" by The Playmates. However,
before playing it, he launches into a 60-second pitch for Cadbury
chocolates, and when he comes out of the spot, he immediately moves to the
#4 song, apparently forgetting that he hadn't played the #5.
