Question abouty Radio Classics programming

D

DavidMedzorian

I just discovered the Radio Classics channel and as a collector of historical radio news programming, I found the old broadcasts fascinating. Does anyone know if the station ever rebroadcasts historical radio news programming such as broadcasts from World War Two or other news related events. I know last year was the 50th anniversary of the JFK Assassination. Was it marked in anyway with special programming?
 
On occasion, they broadcast shows or announcements from the beginning, and another from the end, of WWII. There are many Bob Hope Shows where he broadcast from a military base (mostly in Southern California) during the war. Also, you'll hear mentions of "Buy War Bonds" on many shows (Fibber McGee & Molly comes to mind).

But actual newscasts . . . no. I'll bet there are some, though, somewhere. But not on Sirius/XM Channel 82. I expected that when I first subscribed in 2002 when, if I remember correctly, Stan Freeburg was the host. Just programs, no news. Not from then. Not from now.
