  • "RAIN report: $tations to charge for online $tream. Kurt Hanson's RAIN, see Tuesday's edition: WTKS-FM in Orlando, Florida, is streaming on the net.

But, why pay $5 per month for one station when the satellite services offer a hundred stations for like $12 per month? Sure, prices always go up. - Comments at www.radio-info.com/mods/board.php?Post=22828&Board=sandiego.

    7/28/03 - Tips:

  • Bob Hope, at 100, is gone. "Same Time, Same Station" (Su 5-7p KCSN 88.5 FM) and maybe KNX someday might play his old radio shows.
  • "Bob Hope's Radio Years. Today it was reported that Bob Hope passed away. For some excellent links including Hope's page at the Radio Hall of Fame, his biography and free Bob Hope Radio programs, Click HERE. The Library of Congress has a phenomenal page dedicated to Bob Hope's Radio experiences including great graphics and related historical documents.

  • "Bob Hope: Thanks For The Memories. The legendary American comedian best known for his self-depreciating one-liners and long association with the USO died yesterday at his home in the Los Angeles suburb of Toluca Lake, CA. Hope was 100 years old, and died peacefully with his family at his side. Born in England, Hope first found national fame on the vaudeville circuit and by 1930 landed roles in Broadway musicals such as Ziegfeld Follies. His career reached new heights thanks to gaining regular work on a Bromo Seltzer radio program in the mid-1930s. In 1938, he was hired to host his own program, sponsored by Pepsodent. The radio program then led him to a long and successful career in both films and television. Hope is survived by his wife of 69 years, Dolores Hope, sons Anthony and Kelly, daughters Linda Hope and Nora Somers and four grandchildren. Linda Hope said her father's burial would be private and that it was the subject of one of her father's last jokes. She commented, "My mother asked him where he wanted to be buried and he said, 'surprise me."' In a tribute to Hope's career in radio, Sirius is broadcasting a 10-hour retrospective of the life and comedy of Bob Hope on SIRIUS Radio Classics, stream 133. The program began at 3pm ET today and will re-air on the stream tomorrow." - www.rronline.com/Subscribers/TodaysNews/homepage.htm.

Los Angeles-based CRN offers continuous talk, news and sports programming to subscribers via cable, satellite and the Internet on six different digital radio networks." Also from R&R, linked above. CRN also carries Chef Piero; see www.cableradionetwork.com/WhatsCkn.htm. But, where did they get that picture; his yearbook? CRN is at www.cableradionetwork.com/. P.S. - Piero's bio doesn't state that he was born in the USA, which I may recall is true.
