avid Michael Letterman born 1947, home grown DIndianapolis, IN. of Broad Ripple High School - Indianapolis - Grad 1965, track, basketball and member of school band. B.A. Telecommunications in 1969 from Ball State. Our subject, late night talk show host, comedian, TV producer - Rahal Letterman Racing and philanthropist. David counts himself among the shortwave dial twisters. While no one knows the exact number of shortwave listeners in the United States, most estimates place the number in the millions. SWL’s range from teenagers to retired persons to David Letterman (CBS Comedian and star of The Late Show) who has mentioned several occasions how much he enjoys listening to shortwave, particularly broadcasts by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) - On the Late Late Show November 1995 with Tom Snyder, Letterman in an interview expressed his fascination for his hobby short wave radio listening. David Letterman and Hal Gurnee, director and supervising producer of the Late Show, share an interest in old-time radio, especially the old programs. Letterman is a frequent shortwave listener as well. Both he and Gurnee have LOWE HF-150 receivers. (models made in England) partially scripted from Intro to Shortwave Listening & Wikipedia. Some of Dave’s growth through the business reminds me of myself, he receives recognition for his unpredictable on-air behavior, erasing state boundary’s on weather maps and predicting hail stones the size of canned hams! Letterman had a wonderful relationship with Johnny Carson and I still miss Bud Melman from the NBC days! That golf swing usually meant, material from Johnny Carson! .

Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings January 30, 2019
Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings January 30, 2019 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1919-The Reds hire Pat Moran as manager, replacing Christy Mathewson, when no word is received from him while his is in France with the U.S. Army. Moran would manage the Reds until 1923, collecting a 425-329 record 1978-Former Reds executive, Larry MacPhail, is elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum 1997-The Reds sign Deion Sanders to a free agent contract, for the second time ESPN.COM Busy Reds in on Realmuto, but would he make them a contender? Jan. 29, 2019 Buster Olney ESPN Senior Writer The last time the Cincinnati Reds won a postseason series, Joey Votto was 12 years old, Bret Boone was the team's second baseman and the organization had only recently drafted his kid brother, a third baseman out of the University of Southern California named Aaron Boone. Since the Reds swept the Dodgers in a Division Series in 1995, they have built more statues than they have playoff wins. In recent years, a Dodger said he was sick of Kirk Gibson -- not because of anything Gibson had done, but because the team had felt the need to roll out the highlight of Gibson's epic '88 World Series home run, in lieu of subsequent championship success. Similarly, most of the biggest stars in the Reds organization continue to be Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan, Pete Rose and Tony Perez, as well as announcer Marty Brennaman, who recently announced he will retire after the upcoming season.

Late Night Comedy and Its Effect on the Public's Political Opinion
Late Night Comedy and its Effect on the Public’s Political Opinion A Senior Project presented to The Faculty of the Journalism Department California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Science in Journalism By Emily Kucera March 2015 © Emily Kucera 2015 ABSTRACT This study investigates the relationship between late night humor and the public’s political opinion. This study looks closely at how humor affects audience learning, how late night humor affects the public’s political awareness, whether or not late night humor is ethical, how late night humor is protected, how late night humor has evolved in regards to its political focus, and if late night humor has created political change. Late night humor is increasingly focusing on politics. Many people turn to late night humor as a source of news, although late night humor is not considered a news source. This study aims to determine whether or not late night humor has the power to create a political impact by affecting the public’s political opinion. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1 .......................................................................................................................... 1 Introduction ............................................................................................................. 1 Statement of the Problem ............................................................................ 1 Background of the Problem ........................................................................
