[78-L] War of the Worlds broadcast [was Here's another even more oddball 78 album]

[David Lennick]

I was surprised nobody had mentioned this. Tomorrow night in Buffalo (isn't 
that a Roger Miller song? Yeah, I know, Baltimore). There's been some 
discussion re WOTW on a local radio-tv board (I forwarded the link to the huge 
long page that features comment by everybody, including Mike and Liz) but was 
wondering where the program was heard in Canada. Toronto heard it on CFRB, 
which had a long-standing connection with CBS, but did the CBC get it in the 
rest of the country or did they carry Charlie McCarthy?
