- I was 16 years old and recorded this while at my grandmother's house in Southport, Connecticut, on a reel-to-reel recorder. It is WCBS Radio in New York with the local news and CBS Radio News on the hour at 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 10, 1969. There is a lot of major news of that summer recorded in this clip: the Apollo 11 astronauts being released from quarantine after returning from the moon, Vietnam, the Manson murders and even the Amazing Mets are mentioned. This was just a few days before Woodstock '69. Mike Stanley and the legendary Richard C. Hottelet report for the CBS news. NOTE: Click on my "Playlists" and hear all the radio newscasts placed in chronological order. My Lowell Thomas reports are being placed in a separate playlist as time permits.
These are priceless recordings...wish I had done the same thing when I was young and addicted to the radio....
Really enjoying these old news broadcasts! I like to go for early drives on Saturday mornings and these are prefect to listen to. Thanks!!
My dad recorded a varying degree of radio to Compact Cassette, mainly late 70s and 80s. Great time capsules.
The local news sounder heard just before the network news was used by most CBS owned-and-operated stations (WBBM Newsradio 78 in Chicago, for one), but it was never used by KMOX, the CBS O & O in St. Louis. Interesting that Chevrolet and Oldsmobile sponsored many network newscasts on CBS Radio back then.
Thanks for this. Heard the Cbs news sounder as a young boy in the late 60s in Europe via R NY Worldwide (Wrul/Wnyw) on shortwave. Fascinating ever since.Left a lasting impression
Thanks for the memories! This collection is wonderful.
The day after my folks were married in Cut Bank.Mt in 1969..A treat for me their only child who came along later in June 1972.
I thought I was the only one who recorded the radio news when I was a kid.
Precious...I thought I was the only one to covet these!!!
This is remarkable!
I live in Fairmont, West Virginia, 480 miles southwest of NYC. I can get WCBS only after dark and before sunrise (when I can get it, owing to interference from a Spanish-speaking station). The CBS hourly news doesn't run the full 5 minutes, as WCBS breaks away at 3 after the hour.
And with Bob Glenn and Bill Fahan heard at the start - how they did things really changed over its long run.
THANK YOU, SIR!!
6:21 talks about Roman Polanski, Sharon Tate’s husband, arriving a day after the murders.
Yes, that CBS identifier at 2:05. How many times was that heard from a car AM radio? :)
That tone lasted all the way into the year 2000!
Didn't know CBS used the sounder at the end of its newscast (6:57).
Not too long before Hurricane Camille a week later either.
News of the Sharon Tate murders
Damn.....I'm old.
I became 1 year old August 9 1969^..^
Great!!
whats the instrument used for the sounder? xylophone?
Nope, it’s very early synth. It was composed by electronic music pioneer Eric Siday, who owned a company called Identitones which specialized in these types of sounds. Some of his other work includes CBS’ color programming ID from the mid-60s, the infamous Screen Gems “S from Hell” logo, and the famous Maxwell House percolating coffee pot commercial.
0:16 "Right now it's partly cloudy to partly sunny in the metropolitan area."
Is there a difference?
There shouldn't have been any disease from the Moon anyway, because there is no Atmosphere on the Moon...Good Broadcast! I was about to begin School in September!
Two possible explanations for the quarantine of the Astronauts: 1, We never been there before, Why take chances? 2, It was a "placebo" for the public. Imagine for a second what would have happened if the current pandemic (or even a relatively "ordinary" flu epidemic) occurred shortly after the Moon landing. Holy Hell, The "tin-foil hat" crowd then would have been 100x WORSE than the idiots that blame 5th generation cellular radio for the Coronavirus, Possibly damaging the entire concept of space exploration. Given my "faith" in the scientific knowledge of the average schmo VS the combined knowledge of the physicists and physicians employed by NASA, I'm betting it was the latter!
@@jamesslick4790 Less than 1% mortality rate.
@@FUCKINGENIOUS Yes. and YET, Still 110% paranoia. One is WAY more likely to die by being hit with a bus than to die of Covid-19. But that fact did NOT stop the panic. (P.S. I have never been hit with a bus, But I had Covid-19..I'm still alive.)
@@jamesslick4790 I was not aware that more than 1 million Americans have died from being hit by buses since 2020. Thanks for enlightening me to that. The bus industry must be covering up that national crisis.
@@FUCKINGENIOUS Because of the opportunistic politicians who egged on anti-mask and anti-vaccine passions, far more hospital overcrowding happened than would have if people had done the sensible thing. This caused myriad delays in needed medical treatments for all manner of pre-existing illnesses, and caused many check ups to have to be postponed or cancelled. The resulted in many deaths in addition to covid deaths.
1:15-1:19 I see North Korea hasn't changed much
No surprise. Keep in mind that the Korean War was NOT YET (as of 2021) ended.
No, it hasn't. Honestly, it stays about the same the world over, year in and year out, decade in and out.
