Oscar Brand entering hiw 53rd year broadcasting the "Folksong Festival" on WNYC
He has been on since December 9, 1945 and he's still on Saturdays at
2230 GMT-5/-4. (wnyc.org, medium wave only) This is the Guiness record for longest continuous broadcast by the same host on the same program on the same station. Undoubtedly, #2 would be Alistair Cooke's "Letter from America" which was on the BBC Home Service (after 1967 BBC Radio 4) from 1946 until shortly before his death in 2004. (www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7 is currently running ol er um classic LfA's weekdays at 1315 with audio on demand) |
