Subject: NBC Monitor website adds new segments

NBC's long-running weekend magazine, Monitor, probably was the most successful thing carried by its Pittsburgh owned-and-operated station at the time, WJAS, in 1967. That year WJAS adopted a format for the rest of the week called "Monitor Pittsburgh" that emulated the network service.

Educator-historian Dennis Hart's Monitor tribute website, monitorbeacon.net, has for some years featured an extensive history of the NBC program, which began in 1955 and ended in 1975 (though neither the first few nor the last few years were heard in Pittsburgh). Dennis also has written a book* detailing the history of the program, which was hosted by well-known personalities like Ed McMahon, Henry Morgan, Bill Cullen, Don Imus, Murray the K and Gene Rayburn.

A little more than 12 hours of new recordings from 1967 have just been added, including the memorable 12th birthday spectacular from June 11. If intelligent foreground radio is your thing, or if you care to wax nostalgic about the 1960s, this is for you.
