RADIO SHOW BEGAN ON THIS DAY IN 1945

Agodfreytime


Arthur Godfrey Time
was a Monday-Friday show that featured Godfrey’s
monologues, interviews with various stars, music from his own in-house
combo and regular vocalists. Godfrey’s monologues and discussions 
were usually unscripted, and went wherever he chose. The program
remained a late morning staple
with the Old Read Head on the CBS 
Radio Network schedule until 1972.
