The Big Broadcast is a Sunday night tradition for families throughout the WAMU listening area.

Longtime radio personality and The Big Broadcast host Ed Walker passed away early on Oct. 26 at age 83. We invite you to leave your thoughts and remembrances.

Saying Goodbye To Ed Walker

Ed Walker spent 65 years on the radio. His last program was unlike any other.

Happy Sunday Night, and Merry Christmas, FRiends! It's Classic Radio Time again...

The Big Broadcast page at WAMU has not been updated with tonight's lineup, so it's a mystery until it airs.

Vision asked me to post the thread this evening, since he's a little busy, but he may check in at some point.

Merry Christmas, FRiends! :-)

Yes, thanks, IowaMark. I overlooked that because of the date, December 21st, not thinking it meant actually Christmas. I thought it was last week’s show without looking at it. Duh. :-)
