AND NOW A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR!

   It's August 28th friends, "Radio Commercials

Day!" It represents the anniversary of the very

first commercial aired on American radio. It was

aired on this date in 1922 on radio station WEAF

in New York. And that commercial, by the way,

was for a real estate company! Across "the pond"

commercials didn't begin on British radio until

1973. And that commercial was for Birds Eye

Frozen Food!  Commercials, on radio or TV

can be annoying. That seems especially

true during political campaign season such

as we're enduring right now. But in defense

of the broadcasters, the commercials pay

the bills! They're sometimes informative

and sometimes even accurate. I like the

ones that use humor to sell their product.

At least I get a laugh. By the way today's

BLOG is brought to you by me and I

have approved this message. Hope you're

listening and that all your NEWS is good!
