On this edition of Audio Antiques we again salute Cleveland, Ohio USA. The 54th largest city in the United States. However, during radio's golden age, Cleveland was one of the 10 largest cities in the U.S.and was a center of entertainment, the arts, manufacturing, and technology. But there was also also crime. So First up, we hear a newspaper story from the Cleveland News going coast to coast on NBC's Big Story in 1947. Then, the popular Bob Hope Show variety broadcasts from the comedian's old home town in 1946. Followed by live music on the show One Night Stand broadcasting from the Bronze Room of Hotel Cleveland in 1945. We will hear the game show Quiz Kids broadcasting from Cleveland's gigantic Public Auditorium in 1951. Next, legendary Cleveland Browns kicker Lou Groza appears on The Greatest Sports Thrill.
