...the celebrated KNOWSTON image gallery is being offered again to interested folks who enjoy looking at display ads concerning radio and TV from their early days through the mid 1960's. nine pages are currently available for viewing and will be updated from time to time. please visit

http://knowston.homestead.com/

and click on the "image gallery" button to access the feature.
thanks!
 
...apparently geocities limits data transfer to a daily limit and 23 people hit it at the same time monday. since I'm not generating income with this, I won't be upgrading the features with geocities. please try to access the gallery again when perhaps it won't be as busy. of course there appears to be a rub with everything on this medium and I offer my apologies. I'll see if there's an alternative provider who'll host this feature without the limits of geocities, till then try to see the images when you can get in. I thank you...
 
...it's working now (1:18 P.M. Pacific on Tuesday). Noticed some changes from a couple of years back -- some gone, others new (the "Texaco Star Theater" Fred Allen WABC item next to Jack Benny was a particular delight)...
 
Here is a believe-it-or-not for you... I was glancing at the ads on the site, and ran across one for WLOW-FM in Norfolk, circa 1948. The evening jock mentioned in the ad was Lee Lively. I still have the pleasure of working with Lee upon occasion, 60 YEARS LATER, doing voice overs with Studio Center! Lee still sounds smooth after all these years.
 
I liked the ad for WCBS Radio in New York. They show the listings for the CBS Radio Network for what for the night of Wednesday, October 8, 1952. On that schedule starting at 10 P.M. (in what is Eastern Daylight Time) is boxing from the Cincinnati Garden (later officially called Cincinnati Gardens) and a fight between Ezzard Charles and Bernie Reynolds. It was a short bout as Charles knocked him out in the second round.
