Tt1f Migt1ty'mox Tt1f MIGt1TY'MOX JON McSWff Nf Y Jon McSweeney worked for years in the KMOX newsroom in the 1970s and 1980s. McSweeney was born blind, but didn't stop his inter- est in sports and his ambition to work in broadcasting. Jack Buck heard about McSweeney's interest in baseball and broad- casting, and invited him to attend a Cardinals' game and sit in the KMOX booth. That led to an interview with Robert Hyland and McSweeney's job at KMOX. His primary job was to write features and transcribe interviews, many for the To Your Health segment hosted by Buck. Ct1fiRLIf MfNffS The Big Band Sounds of Charlie Menees was a regular feature on KMOX on Saturday nights from 1987 until his death in 1993. Menees was a well -known jazz scholar, lecturer, journalist, and disc jockey in St. Louis for almost 50 years. He played big -band and jazz recordings from his vast personal collection. Menees moved to KMOX from KWMU -FM, a public radio sta- tion, where his show was the most highly rated show on the station for most of the 1970s. Robert Hyland learned of Menees from several friends who were with Hyland in a limo on their way to a black -tie dinner in 1978. Hyland never listened to any station but KMOX, but these friends overruled him on this night and switched the limo's radio to Menees' show. Three days later, Hyland hired Menees for KMOX. Menees' show reached listeners in some far -flung places, as did other KMOX programs. "He had listeners call in from as far away as the Atlantic Ocean and 30 miles below the Arctic Circle," said his wife of 49 years, Mary, who helped her husband with the show every Saturday night. "One night, a taxi driver called him from New York and said he was listening to him from the middle of Times Square." His son estimated Menees' collection at 30,000 albums, not in- cluding the 78s. The foundation of his home in Kirkwood had to be reinforced with steel to accommodate the weight of the records. 254 www.americanradiohistory.com.

  • Shift from WGN Recalls Old Comfort Zone for Fans, Station, Cubs
    Shift from WGN recalls old comfort zone for fans, station, Cubs By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Monday, June 9th, 2014 Wowww! Let’s go, batter up, we’re taking the afternoon off….It’s a beautiful day for a ballgame, for a ballgame today. The fans are out to get a ticket or two, from Walla Walla, Washington to Kalamazoo… Everything changes – even the most comfy things that fit to a tee. Familiarity and memories of childhood soundtracks of summer is why we’re all wrung out with the news the Cubs’ radio rights have shift- ed to WBBM-Radio from their 57-season home 60 kc down the dial at WGN. The news wasn’t unexpected. WGN re- opened its Cubs contract – not the other way around – before this season because it was losing its financial shirt, unable to re- coup enough ad revenue to cover produc- tion costs when the baseball ratings had gone in the dumper. A move like this be- came inevitable – just the timing was in question – after Tribune Co. sold the Cubs to the cash-hungry Ricketts family, which is saddled with a heavy debt service man- dated by corporate shark Sam Zell as the structure of the sale. Lou Boudreau (top) and Jack Quinlan in WGN- As long as Tribune Co. -- which acquired Radio's first season with the Cubs radio rights in the embryonic WGN in 1924 -- had um- 1958. brella ownership of the Cubs and WGN TV -radio properties, change was going to be far off in the future. But all bets were off once the team and broadcasters diverged under www.ChicagoBaseballMuseum.org [email protected] separate corporate entities.

  • The Death Penalty in 2013: Year End Report
    ! ! THE DEATH PENALTY IN 2013: YEAR END REPORT Media Coverage Summary ! DPIC’s 2013 Year End Report was released on December 19, 2013, receiving extraordinary coverage. Coverage of the report appeared in over 500 media outlets, and was notable in two important respects. First, there was an increase in the amount of news coverage and editorial board attention. Second, 2013 was the year the media reported and underscored our message that “[a] societal shift is underway,” as quoted in the New York Times. Coverage of the 2013 Year End Report included stories in the New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal, Time, CNN, Associated Press, Reuters and AFP, and in hundreds of other articles and editorials. Richard Dieter was interviewed on MSNBC-TV and C-SPAN’s Washington Journal. Stories also ran on NPR (two stories), CBS, ABC, NBC, and Associated Press Radio Networks. As an example of our use of new media, The Guardian (which now has web traffic inside the U.S. similar to the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times) hosted an online chat about the report with DPIC’s Executive Director. The theme of a fundamental change in the country was echoed widely. For example, newspapers in North Carolina carried DPIC’s observation that the decline of the death penalty was not a "one-year quirk … It's indicative of some broad changes in society.” This theme was reflected in New York Times and Washington Post editorials, as well as editorials in Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
