Some cool Fantasy Baseball images:
Dinner Winner
Image by pabear26
Linda B had a Easter Egg hunt, and Thanksgiving dinner, and inside the eggs Allan L and Linda A found what? Prizes just like on the "Dinner Winner" show.
"Dinner Winner" was an outstanding radio show in 1950’s. If you sent in your name, and if your name was drawn, and if you heard your name, and called in, then you won a dinner.
I do not know how "Dinner Winner" verified that the same person that sent their name in, is the same person who called to claim the prize.
The radio show listing is as follows:
Monday, April 21
5:15 Dinner Winner-Rena/Bob Ledyard. Dinner Winner was broadcast in Columbus, Ohio, also.

WXEL-TV 9 Cleveland-A Week of Broadcasting
First Test Pattern for WXEL-TV Channel 9 in Cleveland…Signed on December 19, 1949. "The World On View"..From Richard Warner’s WJW-TV History (in the links at the right)

April 19, 1952 Cover of "TV Today" A Pre-TV Guide Publication covering the Detroit and Cleveland Markets..With offices in both cities and published in Sandusky. Here a Young Marlin Perkins has fun with "Heine The Chimp." Perkins was host of NBC’s Zoo Parade out of Chicago. This was purchased at oldtvguides.com out of Illinois-An excellent resource for vintage TV Guides and other pre-national regional publications, as well as some old newspaper supplements.
We’ve written extensively about TV stations’ Histories in the time we’ve been here, Including a very well done WJW-TV 8 History by Ex-TV 8 Webmaster Richard Warner, which has been part of our links for some time. What I thought we’d do now is take a specific week of Broadcasting at the old WXEL-TV 9, predecessor to TV 8. We’ll look at April 19-25, 1952 as published in "TV Today", a Magazine that covered the Cleveland and Detroit Markets equally from Officies in both cities, publishing out of Sandusky, Ohio..The format was One day of Detroit stations on the left page, and one day of Clevelamd stations on the right page. Both Cities had 3 stations:Detroit 2, 4 and 7 and Cleveland 4, 5, and 9.
WXEL 9 haf been on the air nearly 2 1/2 years at this point..They were considered primarily DuMont but carried ABC and a surprising number of CBS Shows, though WEWS-5 was the primary Cleveland CBS affiliate. ABC was still struggling, as was DuMont..This week shows WXEL at a time when it wasnt certain whether ABC or DuMont would survive, yet DuMont hung around for about 4 more years. ABC would turn the corner in 1953 with its merger with United Paramount Theaters. Cleveland Indians Baseball would begin on WXEL this week, with announcers Bob Neal and former American League Umpire "Red" Jones. According to Franklin W. Snyder, WXEL General Manager, there would be a fourth camera added to the telecasts this year..

Other notes:Ruth Lyons’ 50-50 Club, a staple of Crosley TV stations in Cincinnati, Dayton and Columbus, was shown at this point by WNBK-TV Channel 4 Cleveland, WWJ-TV 4 Detroit and the NBC-TV Network.
WEWS-TV 5 this month began showing "Know Your Schools.", A Public Affairs program that would be featured well into the 1960’s. A count of Network Shows shows WXEL with 25 CBS shows (Includes multiple soap opera airings) 18 ABC Shows and 19 DuMont Shows
Personal Note:This is my 100th post..and the last of 2007..Have a safe and Happy New Year..

Fans of Ohio television should check out a great new book from Arcadia Publishing: "Cincinnati Television", written by Jim Friedman. It’s available at all the usual outlets like Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and is chock-full of incredible pictures and historical trivia from the birth of TV broadcasting in Cincinnati. It’s not to be missed!

I was just a young boy when my mother worked at wxel as the receptionist. I used to go to work with her and I was allowed to be on "Red Goose Merry-Go- Round" every week. Later , she worked at wjw in downtown Cleveland. I went to work with her there too…Jim Martin

Batting practice

After we took infield and shagged fly balls, it was time to take batting practice in the outdoor cage. Yes, we were all wearing #10. Because it’s 2010.

Took this one while I was at 2nd base. Got on base with a walk. Part of our big, but not big enough, rally. We lost 6-5.
