PM--EAST and WEST
Two program segments — one
telecast from the East Coast,
the other from the West —
focus an illuminating spotlight
on "ordinary people who
lead extraordinary lives"
Writer-artist Jim' Hart tells Mike about article he wrote for Saga magazine.
Three principals of the show —
above, PM — West host is
Terry O'Flaherty; PM — East host and
hostess are Mike Wallace
and Joyce Davidson (at left).
A magazine of the air — featuring discussion, news, views, interviews and entertainment — that's what PM — East and PM — West is all about. Syndicated by the Westinghouse Broadcasting Company, to many cities throughout the United States, the nightly show is divided into two segments: PM — East, hosted by Mike Wallace and Joyce Davidson, originates from New York for sixty minutes and is immediately followed by PM — West, hosted by columnist Terry O'Flaherty from San Francisco, for thirty minutes. . . . Ever since his controversial TV program Night Beat catapulted him to international prominence, Mike Wallace has been moving from one area of show business to another, and always with success. The Massachusetts-born performer began his career as a newspaper columnist, then gradually eased into radio, TV and acting on Broadway. In recent years, Mike has served as commentator for the two 1960 political conventions, made niany guest appearances on variety and panel shows, and now serves as executive vice-president of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. The versatile broadcaster lives at Sneden's Landing, New York, with his wife Lorraine and children. . . . Pretty Joyce Davidson's unique gift for putting guests at ease is matched only by her gift for drawing the most out of them with her sharp wit. It's no wonder then that the Canadianborn performer rose from relative obscurity to stardom in the short space of only two years. Joyce began her career as a factory worker — soldering condensers for TV sets. And, although she describes herself as once having been "an unpopular, plain girl with straight hair and very skinny," she managed to become one of the five winners in an Ontario beauty contest. From then on, it was smooth sailing into modeling, Canadian TV and finally TV here in the United States. . . . Long distinguished as a radiotelevision columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle, Terry O'Flaherty made his debut as a performer with the advent of PM — West. Born in What Cheer, Iowa, Terry moved to California at the age of one, was graduated from the University of California, and served with the Navy during World War II. The handsome bachelor has been on the Chronicle for nine years and, during that time, has interviewed just about every star in show business. . . . With three such versatile and talented performers as Mike Wallace, Joyce Davidson and Terry O'Flaherty, PM — East and PM — West has it made . . . from coast to coast.
