[BC] Feeding the network

[RON DOT'O SR.]

I remember reading an article on WXYZ in either the Smithsonian or American History magazine on how the owner started MBS to carry the programs produced there.  I don't remember all the fine details but it was like 5 stations in the Great Lakes area and grew from there.  BTW, he picked the call WXYZ to be "The Last Word in Broadcasting"

  WXYZ fed the Lone Ranger to  Mutual.


  Several programs come out of Detriot,  I think maybe The Shadow.   I seem
  to 
  recall the staff announcer Fred Foy's voice on several programs, 
  including 
  the Lone Ranger.  Also for many years later,  Mutual Sports  all
  originated out 
  of Van Patrick's radio station in the Detriot  area.

  Van's Mutual feed originated at WKMH in Dearborn, MI

  The story I heard was:
  Van recorded his Mutual sports feeds on a 350 and the machine playback was started by a timer.    The 350 then played directly into the Mutual line. 

  I don't know if the 350 story was true, I was told this by someone who worked at the station at the time.
