Didn't Cleveland get the coaxial cable linkup with New York
in early 1949? I mention that because Dec. 24, 1948, is a
red-letter day of sorts: Perry Como brought his radio hit,
"Chesterfield Supper Club," to television at 11 PM on NBC.
At first, the show made no concessions to the new medium;
music stands and microphones were present. But later the
show began to add sets. In 1949 it aired against Ed Sullivan
and was one of many, many shows to die an early death against
the maestro of Sunday night. But Perry's career went on, and
he became even bigger over the years. In fact, here at Christmastime,
I miss his specials.

This might be a good time to wish everyone on the board a happy
holiday, regardless of your persuasion. I'm looking forward to more
give-and-take in 2010.
