Interesting to see Alan Freed, the legendary Moondog who gave rock and roll its name (and made Cleveland the eventual home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame) while handling nights at WJW (AM), was also moonlighting as co-host of a midday movie on WXEL. Airchecks of his work on WJW, as well as WINS and WABC in New York, are all over the web--did anyone ever kinescope any of his TV hosting work?
