War of the Worlds broadcast
 

Hi does anyone know what freq and time that someone is doing the War of the
Worlds broadcast tonight. Somehow I have missed any of the usual
announcements. Thanks Larry WA9VRH

WWKB/1520 is Buffalo is airing both the Orson Welles and one they reproduced
a few decades ago tonight. I didn't get time, but 0000UTC is a good choice.
I have my own tape of the Welles to play and the 1988 NPR version with Jason
Robards to go back to back with.

No, but if you can get to a record shop, you can probably find it on CD.

I own many DVDs, all seldom watched. But if the same movie appears on
cable, wham, I'm hooked for the duration of the movie.

To know and to be, this is not even a question, there is no alternative.
You see it clearly in the loneliest little avenues between particles and
waves, shunned even by the gregarious quark and unknown by the various
strands of time, so big it cannot be seen, yet so little it is immovable,
lies the fabric of the ultimate reality gripped in the fist of the all or
nothing."

Jim,
Thanks so much for the URL!!!.... Right now its playing through my Eico 324
up to each of the kids rooms... The youngest (age 6) is listening to it on
her bedside clock radio, curled up in the sheets clutching her baby doll.
The older (age 9) is listing to it on a 30's zenith farm radio chassis (no
cabinet), with a 110 v to 6 volt transformer. His is starring at the dial
and the tubes (one is gassy and blue) and is totally spell bound by the
program....Bet the world could end right now and he wouldn't know it....What
a great way to end a very nice Halloween!!!!!!!!!!
Lets hope they don't have bad dreams.
Thanks again!!!

Hell...let's hope they don't run out into the street screaming that

You're welcome! I've saved the file to the harddrive, so I'll have it when
I get "in the mood".

Jack: But I *prefer* to dig them out of *and listen to them on* staticky,
in/out-fading, often crowded radio bands. Its simply more satisfying that way.


By golly, that's what I prefer to do, too. Shortwave radio is my roots to a
lifetime career. Also, when I'm driving the byways, I prefer to listen to
"local" AM stations. It reminds me of the pre-Interstate days.

By the way... I heard Orson Welles' War of the Worlds original broadcast. I was
still in single digit age, but the Mercury Theater was one of my favorite
shows.

1988 NPR version

Did you know that the director of this 1988 version was none other than
Firesign Theatre co-founder David Ossman, AKA "Catherwood" in "Nick Danger,
Third Eye"?

He even won some awards for it, as I recall...

FYI, David is doing a new "live" local radio show ( KSER-FM (90.7) from his
home on Whidbey Island in Washington State, check www.firesigntheatre.com
for a link.


Press blurb:

"Live From the Island" will be co-hosted with his wife, Judith Walcutt, noon
to 2 p.m. Saturdays. The program will be broadcast from The Edgecliff on
South Whidbey Island and will feature local and visiting artists (for
example, the first program coincides with Django Fest on Whidbey Island).

Ossman says the program is based on the premise that "island culture is
distinct" from the big-city scene, and it will try to reflect the cultural
flavor of island life.

My friend and I listened to the 'War of the Worlds' show on WKBW-1520
Buffalo (now WWKB) when it was broadcast live for the first time. We
played a trick on his sister by acting like we thought it was all really
happening. She freaked out. It took us quite a while to calm her down
and explain that it was just a Halloween radio show. It made us realize
what the impact of the original broadcast by Orson Wells must have been
like.

I also saw the movie, in the early 1950s, in a drive-in theater no less. G

Yes, it was in color. The ends of the serpentine arms were cameras that looked
like a triune lens of the three basic colors.

I believe that idea came from the Crosley(?) color wheel that was used, I
believe, by CBS in the early days of color, before the RCA electronic scheme
was accepted.

Oh, and the actual critters were inside the machines.
