Live Oldies Radio Resurgence in San Diego - ABC Nightline, and More - a podcast by Smitty, Mike, and The Galaxy Gang

Ian Rose remembers Richard Morefield, the former Consul General to Iran who was one of the hostages back in 1979-80. Mr. Morefield passed away on October 11, 2010. Because of this crisis, ABC News created a new program to keep the nation informed on the events in Iran, and the hostages. This program became "ABC News Nightline".

Ian remembers how this show developed and he talks about Ted Koppel, who hosted the program for many years. The program still continues on the air to this day.

Mike, Smitty, and Ian welcome Mike Zuccaro back to the show. Mike Z tells us about his radio program "Saturday Night Sock Hop" heard on station KCBQ in San Diego. He tells us what his inspiration was to do a program where he features great Doo-Wop hits of the 50's and 60's.

Mike Z lets us know what it took to put this program on the air, and what his inspiration was to do a program such as this. He recalls such on-air personalities as Jack Spector, who he listened to many years ago. The entire gang joins in on a brief discussion of the status of AM radio today.

Our Retro-Commercial is a great Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer commercial. Join us on Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site!
