Announcement:

All Things Radio

On Thursday, December 3, 2009, at 6:30 PM.EST, the "All Things Radio”
podcast will be featured in The Fred Bertelsen Old Time Radio Room of 
www.radiooutofthepast.org.

“All Things Radio,” was the dream of Bill and Jennifer Sparks and began 
early this year.  The 37 podcasts run thus far are available for download 
from the "All Things Radio" folder at

www.legend-oldies.com

Averaging about an hour in length and at this time  anchored by Michael 
Loft, each podcast features
1. Radio news from Jeff Bennett,
2. Format and call letter changes from Jennifer Sparks,
3. Airchecked samples of radio stations from Bill Sparks,
4. Profiles of broadcasters and podcast contributors from Walt Kramer,
5. And occasional historical features, such as the history of Detroit 's 
WJR.
After each podcast, there's usually close to a half-hour available for an 
informal chat about radio. Anyone who would normally come in for the 8 PM 
Old Time Radio program is welcome to join us for the chat, which is usually 
moderated by Marcia Moses. For that matter, all are welcome to come in at 
6:30 PM EST and make a night

Bill Sparks currently has three streaming radio channels on line. They are:
1. The Legend, featuring oldies from the mid '50s to the mid '70s,
2. The Country Legend, featuring classic country music, and
3. Remember Radio, featuring old-time radio shows.
The three radio services operate 24/7, and links to them can be found
at: www.billsparks.org

Also available from www.billsparks.org  are links to at least eight thousand 
radio stations that stream their broadcasts on line.

>From another Bill Sparks web site, www.rememberradio.com, thousands of 
old-time radio shows are available for purchase. Customers may either buy 
programs on CDs, or purchase copies of shows that can be downloaded
