The Dial-a-President radio program, featuring President Jimmy Carter and CBS
news anchorman Walter Cronkite, aired for the first time. The idea of Cronkite
and CBS, the show was a test-run to see if it could be successful. Approximately
9 million calls flooded the CBS radio studio during the two-hour broadcast. It was pronounced a success, but never aired again.
