New Exhibits for the Week of August 29, 2010 Introductions by Uncle Ricky and contributors.

It's International Week this week at REELRADIO, and all our exhibits were broadcast by stations NOT licensed by the U.S. Government. I wonder if a U.S. First Class Radiotelephone License was recognized in Canada or Great Britain? Oh, it didn't matter then, there was a job just down the street (or across the country) in good ole America... DEVELOPING: STREAMING SPECIAL FOR U.S. LABOR DAY

Emperor Rosko Midday Spin, BBC Radio 1, London, September 30, 1967 Here we have, in unscoped AM narrowband splendor, most of the sixth hour of BBC Radio 1's first day on the air. Hip New Yorkers had their Rosko (Bill Mercer), however, to Britons this Los Angeles-born Emperor Rosko (Mike Pasternak, son of Hollywood producer Joe Pasternak) became the epitome of the jive-talking American disk jockey during his several decades on the national airwaves. Thanks to Mark Ogden for this first-day sample of The Pirate Killer. Emperor Rosko Midday Spin, BBC Radio 1, London, September 27, 1969 Emperor Rosko lets it all hang out during this high flying hour on a typically gray Saturday in London town from September 1969. This is a full hour of totally original Hit Music Radio with East Coast formatics (including reverb!) and a West Coast Southeast music director who was smoking something GOOD. More amazing History of Top 40 — THANK YOU Mark O. for your long-time support and first time contributions! Brother Bill Gable, CKLW Windsor-Detroit, April 6, 1974 A classic unscoped hour of straight-ahead CKLW from Spring, 1974 with Brother Bill Gable. If you HATE unscoped airchecks, or the music of 1974, or both, listen to the 'SCOPED" version. The great production, promos, jingles and news are all worth your time. Thanks to The Eric Rhoads Collection.

"... Todd (Storz) and some others were sitting around figuring out what they could do on their station and they noticed that WDSU had a program called the Top 20. And they thought if the Top 20 was successful, that the Top 40 would be even better - and that's what they said - We're going to be twice as good as WDSU 'cause we're gonna play - The Top 40." - Hon. Wm. L. Armstrong, U.S.S., Ret., Denver, Colorado from Radio's Revolution and the World's Happiest Broadcasters
