    I adored Bob Hope and when I feel lonely I watch all the old Bob Hope Specials in some sad war torn country..he was a national treasure..I miss him and his wonderful spirit..my late husband taught me the love of radio.

      Hi Stari Night, I am looking back to some greats of old before hosting a Christmas broadcast tomorrow night 6:30 pm Arizona time kvan.fm I can't guarantee the host will light up the special but I am sure at least the live music will. Talias Van's Bright and Morning Star Choir and Orchestra will follow the Youth Choir which opens. Blessings.

    This is fantastic
    My father served in 4th Marine Division (Saipan, Tinian, Roy Namur and Iwo Jima) he was a Radio Operator and after the war he went on to get a degree in broadcasting and was a DJ with Alan Freed in Cleveland, Ohio and then moved to Charleston, SC to a career with WCSC Radio and later in 1952 television.

      Hi There Ladysensei!! Your pop and mine might’ve fought together!! My dad was also a Marine but in a intel unit attached to the the second division. Fought at tarawa, Saipan, Ron Namur and Titian. He’s actually the very same Harry A. Jackson that speaks at the 38 min mark in this clip!!! Someone just sent this to me randomly tonight. He was an incredible artist and had an incredible life but I never knew about this little episode. If you want to see some of his vast body of work check out the insta I run for him @harryjacksoninstitute!!!

      If they were still of the age that they were in 1943, they would be absolutely livid at the election fraud perpetrated by the Scumbag Democrats which ended in the theft of our Presidency and the false Impeachment of the greatest president since George Washington.I believe that they would have fought and died to right this wrong.

      They don't remember the words but they remember the shows and hearing them during the Christmas season. Many many discussions with my Mom, aged 90, about all this. 11 years old, almost 12, when this broadcast came out and we haven't discussed this particular broadcast but a. living in Detroit, " the Arsenal of Democracy" , and b. three young uncles in the Service, over the Oceans, she has given us a ton of real life history from this time. The things people whine and sob about or advocate for, today , are almost criminally trivial compared to real life and real things back then, really not long ago at all if you knew your parents and grandparents.

    NBC had already separated itself from the "Blue" network in October 1943, after Edward J. Noble acquired it; he was planning to change the "Blue" identification as soon as he was able to secure the rights to the name "American Broadcasting Company" (which he did, by late 1944- from then until June 1945, the standard closing I.D.became, "This is the Blue network of the American Broadcasting Company.").
