RADIO STARS

OFF THE COB
Irene Beasley is the tall gal from Dixie who's been conducting the R. F. D. No. 1 morning programs over CBS. Irene, plantation-bred and an ex-resident of a Tennessee Rural Free Delivery route, came to New York and made a name for herself with her rhythm songs. But, thinking of her own background, she created the idea of R. F. D. Xo. 1 — a program of songs and chatter for farm fans. Irene's a real farmerette at heart and she's even arranged with the Post Office to take care of the mail from her farm listeners. It is addressed to "Irene Beasley, R. F. D. No. 1, New York City" — and it is delivered to her at home. Which means that R. F. D. No. 1 in New York is a lovely, modernistic apartment right off of Park Avenue in the teeming Fifties. And not a cow or cornfield in sight.

"YOUR STATION IS "
Before the Kay Kyser Musical Kollege goes on the air each Wednesday night, Announcer Ben Grauer and Kay indulge in a dash of repartee for the benefit of the studio audience. Now when the show comes on, if you listen carefully, the first sound you hear is laughter from the New York audience. Grauer is responsible.
Usual procedure on a program is the signal for dead silence, then station announcement and then a new signal and the show's on the air. Ben follows that system up to the few seconds before the station announcement. At that moment, he solemnly moves to the microphone and says: "This is Station W.P.A., New York." (Continued on page 82)
