A movie rating of GP?
GP was an old rating from the MPAA that replaced the M rating. GP means ”Suggested for General Audiences, but Parental Guidance is Advised”. It was replaced in 1972, because some people thought it stood for “General Patronage”. This was used from 1970 until 1972, when it was replaced with the PG rating.
Greatest radio markets? New York, Los Angeles, Chicago ??? and I would say, we had some great jocks go through Seattle and some very unique long-term personalities.
Morgan’s banter about never having been to Chicago is interesting since he left for WIND two months later. Makes you wonder if this aircheck was made right around the time he got the first call from Group W.
I’ve always wondered why beer ads always have to give you the city like that. Obviously there’s some legal reason… Sort of a TOH ID for brew.
“Carling Brewing Company, Tacoma, Washington, and other cities.”
Trouble in Portland with protestors. What’s new? A bombing in Seattle and a high-speed chase in Southern California. Some things never change. This type of news presentation got the listener’s attention. I miss good radio.
