'SCOPED

. . . you have twenty seconds to set that clock at 25 minutes past seven . . .

[CONTRIBUTION, RESTORATION BY ROB FRANKEL. DESCRIPTION BY UNCLE RICKY]

An amazing piece of radio history, re-constructed by contributor Rob Frankel featuring not only the legendary Herb Oscar Anderson, but newsman Dirk Fredericks, who went on to great success as a game show announcer. Listen to his sponsor credit for Pepsi-Cola!

Yes, it IS the day after the great Northeast Power Blackout, and things are getting back to normal. Not only is the correct time important, many of the regularly scheduled trains are not running. Dan Ingram has a cameo in the newscast, discussing his emergency broadcast from the transmitter site in Lodi, New Jersey.

Herb Oscar Anderson passed away January 29, 2017. He was 89.
