Seattle Radio News Sweep ’59-’69

The news segments were a compelling part of what once made radio exciting. Whether it was “Banner Line,” “Total Information,”
“20-20,” “Live at 55” or “Constant Information” — the news was produced, promoted and paraded across Seattle’s air waves in all forms and formats. Here’s an 11-year chronological sweep of how some of it sounded starting with 1959 and running through 1969….19 brief airchecks and a lot of familiar voices.
It runs a bit over 5:00, and here’s the batting order:
