VOLUME XVII -NUMBER 48 AUGUST 18, 1956 Norm Prescott and Alan Dary, two of Boston’s top disk jockeys, joined forces recently to present “Saturday Hop”, a TV variety show which has already corraled some of the top record names in the country. Televised over WBZ-TV, the show features many audience gimmicks based on hit records, presents guest artists each week whose records are cur- rently making noise, and in addition devotes a spot to The Cash Box top tune of the week. www.americanradiohistory.com .
