Among his many awards there is a cherished Peabody, given to him in 1947 for a documentary radio essay on juvenile delinquency. Such public service programs continue to be a Flynn specialty. He’s currently the narrator for another radio series which is reaping plaudits. It’s called “The Seventh Continent” and it deals with people in foreign lands. Fahey, however, isn’t confining his toil to the old medium. He’s seen on WBBM-TV six days a week, doing a Monday through Friday news show at 10 P.M, and a 3:30 P.M. half-hour pro¬ gram on Sundays, This Is the Midwest. Graying and handsome, the 38-year- old commentator fits snugly into the local TV picture. For those who prefer their news reports with emotional col¬ oration, Fahey’s style may seem a little flat and grim. Most viewers, though, are likely to regard it as properly clear, concise and objective. Fahey is well-grounded in his craft. His career spans nearly a decade and a half. A product of Escanaba, Mich., he was educated at Oshkosh (Wis.) State Teachers College and the Uni¬ versity of Wisconsin. He also launched his career in Wisconsin, doubling in brass on a Madison radio station as salesman and newswriter. In 1941, fol¬ lowing stints in other midwest cities, he came to Chicago and joined WBBM. When not tangling with typewriter, mike and camera, Fahey can be found just loafing at home. That is, if anyone can loaf who’s the father of a one- year-old boy. Making a very early TV debut, little Jamie appeared last month on his father’s Sunday show. TV GUIDE A-5
