I'm so glad I jumped down this rabbit hole. Now I'm going to look for old Shock Armstrong bits, and then maybe some Ernie Lee

I was 11 growing up in Pinellas park, what an exciting time for me then.

1967, my first Christmas! I've lived in the Tampa area all of my life, so I really appreciate these recordings. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your post, MorningMary67. Perhaps your folks were listening to this program on the car radio that morning!

The newscast on this reminds me of CKLW 20/20 News; blood and guts reporting.

[@briandonegan8480]

Wow. What grim news on Christmas. That's depressing.

[@dwtpa97]

Yes, and WLCY sorta specialized in sensational news back then! Thanks for your post.

You've heard of "Don't mess with Texas," well how about "Don't tamper with Tampa." Good Christmas songs! News was dismal at the start. Great vintage photos and postcards! Cute jingles! Excellent announcers! The "good old days" weren't that good really. Thanks for the memories!!!

[@dwtpa97]

Thanks,JM778ful ! You're right - the Good Old Days look better when we look back on them than when we experienced them! But it's fun to hear these old programs again.

8:14 Bible commercial, New Testament with armed forces emblem on the cover. Love it! Nowadays you'll hear ads telling us how horrible America is. My, how this country has changed.
