Hi, Vision! I thought maybe you’d gone out of town for work and forgot to mention it. :-)

Happy Sunday!

[S.O.S121.500]

Wwhhhheeeewwwwww.....beginning to wonder/worry.

[Vision]

Hi Gina, was down in ATL this weekend and landed about an hour ago. How’s things?

[Vision]

Happy Sunday evening!

[WXRGina]

All’s fine here, Vision. I’m sure you’re glad to be back home from Atlanta. :-)

[Vision]

Had a beautiful time.

[Calvin Locke]

Out of curiosity, does anybody know what was run in the East-equivalent time slot, since The Whistler ran only in the West? And apparently Chicago.

[Vision]

Hi, not sure what you mean.

[Calvin Locke]

For instance if Whistler was run at 8PM in LA on CBS, what ran at 8PM in NYC [on CBS]?

[Vision]

I don’t. Maybe there are schedules somewhere...The DC OTR radio club may know.
