We were probably one of the few stations at the time that ran it. I don't believe it was officially in syndication. My program director John Pendergast had an old army buddy at CBS and as I recall they cut some kind of deal so that we could run the show in exchange for something like running another program or feature they were pushing. I forget the details but we weren't charged any money. It came in over the satellite at 7 pm or 8 pm. My job was to record it and broadcast it at 11 pm. If tehy were broadcasting it over satellite, I know it couldn't have been just for us, so maybe there others that ran it at that time as well, although all the information I read online says there were no CBSRMT broadcasts at that time, but clearly WQBK was doing it, and the satellite feed suggests there may have been others, so that's an unsolved mystery that needs to be sorted out. We used 1/4 inch reel-to-reel to record it. I left in 1990 and I think they stopped broadcasting it by the very early 1990s. I made copies for my mom without the commercials as I noted above she lived at the time somewhere with no TV reception or cable and she was starved for some entertainment. I think most of the copies I put up on YouTube are from when it ran on some public radio stations in the late 1990s and I recorded it of the Internet. However, a couple I know are from the late 80s at WQBK. The tapes were pretty old, but weren't played much. I cleaned the sound on the older ones up a bit using Sound Forge or Audacity. Please feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. G.

I am making some fan trading cards for CBSRMT and wondered if you had any stories, photographs or information about your time there as a board operator? I have been considering creating an oral history of the show as well, interviewing people that were involved. I would hate to see this all disappear without some sort of curated oral history. Do you have any thoughts on this? Thanks!! pnormandesignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409774913954556444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552243203583049477.post-90431255763620866812018-08-05T16:42:42.189-04:002018-08-05T16:42:42.189-04:00I was hoping you would read this!
