For nearly 45 years Bob and Ray entertained millions of radio listeners and television viewers. Bob and Ray’s long partnership began at Boston radio station WHDH in 1946 when Goulding, after delivering the news on Elliott’s music program, began to stick around and swap anecdotes with the host. Listeners demanded more, however, and the station soon scheduled Matinee with Bob and Ray. It offered offbeat comments on the day’s news, fables about fictitious characters and bogus contest offers.

Before the advent of the ubiquitous and despicable ‘morning zoo’ format, I can only think of one two-man morning show, Ryan and Linton on KAYO. As I recall, they got divorced and married each other’s wife, providing the first proof of Cupid’s Quadratic Equation:
Unavailable = Desirable
Available = Undesirable
George Jones and Melba Montgomery sang about it.
