Jeez, talk about bringing back memories. Attended a wgn (taping or live?) of an old "barn dance" program when I was knee high to a grasshopper.
Didn't know tech, but after the program was done the cameras were opened up to cool, saw a pix of the rca opened up on one of the sites lately and my jaw dropped, it was the old humpback and it opened like that.
googling got me this
"Wholesome music and humor with a country sound.
Moved to WGN Radio in 1960 (from WLS, where it debuted in 1924).
Aired on WGN Radio and TV (1962+)on Saturday nights until 1969. "
Sounds about right.
wow
