HOME RUNDOWN PAGES ARTIST/SEGMENTS COMMERCIALTRACKS LINKS CREDITS MISC.

KEY

COLOR CODE: The rundowns that are currently available can be accessed by clicking the blue underlined links). There is a HOME link at the end of each rundown page to bring you back to this page. Special shows are included in the special table. Note, if the links are green, these lead to incomplete rundowns based on partial tapes of those shows. The red dates represent tapes that I have, but have not yet cataloged. GREY CELLS contain links to shows taped on that date for later broadcast. Dates in WHITE indicate that the broadcast that week was either a re-run or otherawise previously taped.

!!NEW!! BRIGHT GREEN CELLS designate the most recent additions or revisions.

The rundown pages are currently arranged as follows:

MinIn / Segment Name / Artist / Segment Note

MinIn refers to Minutes Into the show…approximately where in the show the segment begins. In some cases, you may note that instead of the typical "h:mm:ss" time format, the entry will read something like "A:00:01", "B:00:12". In such cases the entry does not refer to a full show, but simply the sequence in which segments take place on side A or B of fragmentary/compiled tapes that I may have. Times given are approximate: although I've listed hours, minutes and seconds, I'm sure I've made some mistakes here and there, and that I've been thrown off by various things like gaps, leader-tape, auto-reverse, etc.

Segment name usually refers to either a general type of segment (i.e. Songs, The news from Lake Wobegon, Powdermilk Biscuits commercials, etc.)

Artist typically refers to the primary or featured artist or group for that segment (i.e. singer, soloist). In many cases there are several supporting performers, musicians, etc. Where possible, others will be noted in the Segment note field.

Segment note provides more specific/detailed information such as song names, a synopsis of the news segment, etc.

A double asterisk (**) after the show name or date indicates that the full show has been released on CD, cassette or Video (through HighBridge Company)

If you are looking for specific segments that have been commercially released, the commercially released tracks table may be of use to you:
