15 Ann Colone-Variety
A locally produced variety show that was able to hang on till at least the early 70's...Nice mix of local guests and big names doing their bit to help out the affiliates. I can still remember the on-air phone calls, back when long-distance calls had those periodic beeps every minute or so.

I can still remember the on-air phone calls, back when long-distance calls had
those periodic beeps every minute or so.

You may be referring to the beep tone which was heard every 15 seconds
on any call--local or long distance--broadcast on the air, live or recorded.

Memory is a bit hazy, but I think it was an FCC requirement at that time.
I vaguely remember this practice being mentioned in the front section of
the phone book, so maybe it was part of the Bell System's tariffs.

Not sure how the tone was generated--did Ma Bell wire something into the
station's phone system? The key, pot, or whatever source position for the
phone on the board was often labeled "beeper."
