IT WAS AUG. 17th … when Norman Corwin’s first success debuted on CBS radio. It was ‘Passport for Adams’, starring Robert Young as a small town newspaper editor… When Italian pop vocalist Domenico Modugno appeared on CBS-TV’s “The Ed Sullivan Show” singing his hit single “Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu (Volare)”… When a revolution in the world of music got underway, as the first audio CDs were manufactured… ..and when David Caruso (pictured) quit the cast of ABC’s “NYPD Blue” to pursue a movie career, a move that didn’t pan out. ALL the milestones for Aug. 17th INSIDE.

IT WAS AUG. 16th …. when “Lights Out,” Arch Oboler’s “ultimate horror show,” was heard for the last time on NBC Radio. It returned to the air three years later on CBS… When comedian Jack Paar replaced Walter Cronkite as host of CBS-TV’s “The Morning Show” .. at least for 14 months …. When radio station CFSL Weyburn, Saskatchewan, signed on with 250 watts on 1340 KHz… ..and when the sitcom “The Debbie Reynolds Show” premiered on CBS-TV. It lasted just one season. ALL the milestones for the date INSIDE.

Country music is something of a boy’s club, especially on the radio.
