Great aircheck! I've never heard this before. Was AG's show an hour by 1963 or was it still 90 minutes?

Thanks,

Joe

Interesting to hear the news bulletin interuption and the mention of CBS Radio's "Net Alert" which I think was fairly new about that time.

...I'm pretty sure Arthur Godfrey Time had been cut back to one hour about the time he also gave up his TV shows, circa '59...

I recall listening to Arthur Godfrey's radio show on CBS Radio in the Summer of 1965 and believe it was an hour then.  Something like 10:00 A.M. - 11:00 A.M.

Or technically, "Arthur Godfrey Time" was 50, 52 or 53 minutes from the late fifties onward, after an hourly radio newscast.

50 mins until 1968 then 30 mins 7 days a week until 1972

I wonder what time he would have been fed down the line on a Saturday or Sunday?

Also, does anyone know what day of the week his final program aired?

Thanks,

Joe
