WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE OLDIE? Since 8 years old, I love to discover great sounding tunes that rarely appear on the radio. Flip sides of 45 rpm records that never receive radio airplay. Follow up tunes to #1 hits that never make it on the air. San Antonio, TX has a radio station, KCJV LP (97.9 No Hit Radio and The Greatest Songs You’ve Never Heard), that plays long versions and obscure songs. Tell us. What is an Oldie that you like but never hear on the radio? You might help us discover wonderful, but hidden, tunes too.

TRIVIA QUESTION: When does the Bell System introduce the touch-tone telephone? The answer appears below.

LIZ PATRANELLA [Liz Houston – KTSA-550, KBAT-680] (Austin, TX) Subject: Bernie Waterman Passes. I am sad to share that Bernie Waterman died Sunday afternoon at his home in Sanibel, Florida. According to Gerry Poppe, last week Bernie suffered a stroke which ultimately lead to pneumonia and his situation deteriorated rapidly. As you know, Mr. Waterman was so instrumental in the success of countless San Antonio radio professionals. He truly believed in serving the public, both on and off the air. He was a true broadcaster and mentor to many of us. Mr. Waterman was a 2016 Inductee in the San Antonio Radio Hall of Fame: http://sanantonioradiohalloffame.com/bernie-waterman.html For more information, see article “Founder of Waterman Broadcasting, Bernie Waterman, dies at 96”: http://www.nbc-2.com/story/36831487/waterman-broadcasting-bernie-waterman-dies-Sanibel If you would like to send condolences to his wife, Edith, here is the address: Edith Waterman 1300 Seaspray Lane Sanibel Island, FL 33957
