IT WAS JUNE 22nd … when radio station KVL 1370 Seattle debuted on the air at 6:30pm with more than 6 hours of musical celebration featuring live orchestras playing jazz, classical and Hawaiian music… When the final episode of “You Bet Your Life”/”The Groucho Show” aired on NBC-TV… When the 22-year old Barbra Streisand signed a 10-year contract with CBS-TV worth about $200,000 a year… ..and when the 134th & final episode of “Xena: Warrior Princess” aired in North America.

IT WAS JUNE 21st … when the first telecast of a political convention took place, from the Republican Convention in Philadelphia … When Nick Frost brought a brand new Kelowna radio station CILK FM (Silk FM) to the air at 101.5 with effective radiated power of 11,000 watts… When Victoria’s CKXM FM 91.3 switched from a country station to modern rock under a new name “The [email protected] FM”… When NBC radio aired the final 'Railroad Hour' which was in fact a weekly 30-minute music show ... ..and when two years before WW2, the BBC televised the Wimbledon Tennis Championships for the first time. ALL the milestones for June 21st INSIDE.
