Tom Snyder - unedited, off-air comments on ABC talk radio show

Un-edited, not-for-broadcast comments by Tom Snyder
Recorded 1989
In the 60 seconds between the end of his nightly ABC Radio talk show and the top of the hour, Tom Snyder would often talk over the satellite feed before he left. Sometimes addressing affiliates and board operators at local stations, sometimes just talking about whatever was on his mind. Sometimes telling off-color jokes, old stories or dishing on celebrities and broadcasters.
These segments were never intended to be aired, frequently ending with variations of "...if this ever gets on the air, we come to your homes!"
Apparently some of them did get on the air, as you can hear him issue a brief complaint one night at the 34:24 mark in this clip. The closing commentaries essentially ceased thereafter.
The Tom Snyder radio show was syndicated by ABC Radio 1988-1992

[@mrjasonwhite73]

He was one of a kind.

[@Tmanaz480]

Nice that he doesn't just take care of the listeners, but he knows to keep a good relationship with the affiliate stations.

[@emich28]

Tom Snyder would be a perfect fit for satellite radio.

[@ChangingTides777]

Listening to Tom Snyder at .75 speed is my nightly ritual. There’s nothing better in the world to make you happy and melt your worries and troubles away then drift off to sleep comforted. Miss you so much Tom.

Tom Snyder was one of the kindest, sincere, most genuine and entertaining people in the history of humankind.

What a class act!

What a class act!

[@MrJoeybabe25]

Off-air in radio means from the actual on-air broadcast. Confusing, I know. Obviously you mean not for broadcast. Great upload! Thanks! Cool that he spoke to the board ops along the line!

9:30 Friday, May 5, 1989 (early the next morning, actually).

[@dariowiter3078]

Interesting takes that he had on different things and people. 😁

[@edkalegi6504]

Tom was great, but I wonder how many board ops in the middle of the night actually listened to any of this or simply hit "click" as soon as the show ended.
