I am talking about AFN in the early 50’s where the 7AM news started with “The world is waiting for the sunrise” by Les Paul and they had musical programs like “Cool Castle” and big band music was being played throughout the day.
AFN was a very classy radio station in those days.
Indeed, “Cool Castle” featured a number of up-and-coming jazz men like Stan Getz. It was a late-night program.
